Jingshi, Luoyang, and Cao Cao are talking to Xi Zhicai about something.

"Have you noticed that copper coins have been worth a lot lately?" Xi Zhicai said so.

"Copper coins, how can they be worth so much?" Cao Cao asked curiously after taking a sip of wine, he really didn't understand what was going on, and he didn't understand what the other party was talking about.

"I mean, in the past, it cost thirty dollars to buy a jar of wine, but now, it's only twenty. Isn't that worth the money? Xi Zhicai said.

"Maybe it's just that the wine is a lot cheaper." Cao Cao said. He disagreed. After all, such a thing is nothing, but Xi Zhicai is very keenly aware that there are some things that are different. However, he still lacks some financial knowledge, and just a few newspaper reports are not enough for him to figure out many things.

"Perhaps, but I think there's something connected to that, and I've noticed something." Xi Zhi thought about it and said so.

"Most of the cannons of the imperial court are cast with pig iron, because copper is expensive and costly, but pig iron casting, there are many waste cannons, which are difficult to use." Xi Zhicai said so.

"Most of the Republican artillery is cast in copper, and even if the Republican Army imports a lot of copper, how much money do they have to buy so much copper. I feel that there is only one possibility. That is, the large-scale use of copper coins to complete such artillery minting work. Xi Zhicai told Cao Cao his inference. Cao Cao nodded, feeling that there seemed to be such a possibility, after all, he knew such a thing, what was the purpose of the Republican Army's promotion of paper money, which was to collect a large number of copper coins to cast bronze artillery.

"If that's the case, there will naturally be a lot less copper coins on the market, so the situation will be very unfavorable. This can be a huge problem for us. Cao Cao said so. Cao Cao didn't know what deflation was, and he didn't know how much impact a currency would have, but he vaguely felt that if this continued, the currency of the imperial court, especially the copper coins, would suffer a great destruction, which would definitely not be good news for the entire financial situation of the empire.

"I don't know what the IRA will do, but if something goes wrong with the copper coins, the situation will probably be much more chaotic. We have to be careful to deal with it. Xi Zhicai said. He is not very clear about financial matters, maybe he vaguely feels that there is some special relationship in this, but what the relationship is, he is not clear, and it cannot be explained that such situations in such a situation will put them in a very unfavorable situation, and it is really not good to want to complete such things.

"Forget that. We are still drinking, and we can't understand the situation in the DPRK and China. Cao Cao said so.

There was a great contradiction between Jian Shuo and the great general He Jin, although Jian Shuo suppressed the general. This was done intentionally by His Majesty the Emperor, but the forces of the two sides were still in a delicate equilibrium for the time being, and it was not clear to both sides how to break such a delicate equilibrium. But Cao Cao felt that the situation in Bingzhou seemed to be an important balance point to break the situation.

According to the report in the direction of the state, the republican army suddenly adopted a method of steady progress, and the state army has no way to deal with such a situation, if it is allowed to develop, the situation of the state army will be very bad, and even in many cases, their situation will be in a very unfavorable situation, in such a situation if it develops, the state may be annexed alive in the end, although the republican army is developing very well, Cao Cao is very envious, but if it continues to develop like this, He was also very worried, after all, the situation was very unfavorable to the imperial court.

But Cao Cao has no way to change such a situation. He felt that the situation had a feeling of erosion, and this feeling of erosion made people feel very aggrieved.

The lifeless situation makes the whole of Luoyang look lifeless.

In contrast, the situation for the Republican Army is much better. The major Republican military factories have ushered in a new batch of factories, and these workers are very poor in technical ability, but very hard-working. Learning, organizational obedience is very high, because most of them are retired soldiers, this is the new workers arranged above, after they enter, they are first trained, and then adapted to their posts, military factories are the busiest places in the Republican Army, there were few personnel before, but now, they can turn up. The reason is simple, the doubt that they have more workers.

Handan Iron Works. Retired veterans and stewards were assigned here.

Before coming here, he was up and down, although there were many old guys who came together, they all had settling-in allowances, all kinds of benefits, for example, the local government solved the problem of housing for them, and they could have a small courtyard of their own in the suburbs of Handan. However, the government only gave them some money, preferential loans, and land, and it was their own business to build a house. But they finally have their own home and, most importantly, a job.

However, the old manager was still very nervous in his heart, he had never been afraid of anything, but when he came out of the barracks, he was uncomfortable. Because they are like a group of strange children who have left their hometowns to work in the city, feeling helpless. It's really hard to accept.

The Handan Iron Works gave them a very spectacular feeling, and it was the first time they were here, and they saw the big chimney under construction. They don't know how tall it is, there should be a white zhang in the square, and they are looking at it with their necks raised.

There was also the steaming heat, the red and red sticky water, and the heat made them feel as if they had evaporated all the water from their bodies. The workers were as excited as they were in the army.

It was the first time they knew that the weapons, farm tools, and various carriage accessories they used, the carriages, were all from here.

The factory first took them on a tour. This made them get used to it quickly, after all, they still felt very comfortable in such situations.

After the visit, they began to assign workshops, which was the most nervous time for the old managers, as if the person in charge was also a soldier who had retired like them.

"This is the same as your company assignment, our Handan Iron Works, whether it is big or small, how can it be the establishment of an infantry division." Here's what the person in charge said.

"This workshop, the production teams, is your battalion, your company, you can still see this place as a barracks, but the formed unit has changed its name, you can still enter each battalion, each company, each platoon, your unit has changed. But you are still the strength here, the army needs to be responsible, you need to kill the enemy, here, production is your task, how many things you produce, you are your enemy. Everybody is a little more relaxed. The person in charge said.

Anyway, they suddenly relaxed, perhaps, this is really the case, if you think about it, it seems to be like this. They seemed to be still in the barracks, such a thing, how could they not be happy, such a thing, they had never thought about it.

Many veterans had the same idea as the old manager, and they quickly understood what was going on. In such a situation, they are happy, or the initial tension is suddenly eliminated a lot.

They easily integrated into the workers' society.

In addition to the workers, there was a new police force, and soldiers with a sense of justice were integrated into the police. They also began to take on the situation of social tranquility. In this case, their situation will become much more favorable. That's where they're most advantageous at the moment. Such a situation will be of great help to them.

The transition from military service to civil society has been largely successful. They began to adapt to a new life, and their military career became a memory among them, and they would take out their weapons, medals, and uniforms from time to time, and miss the old days.

At the same time, there is a new group of young people who have entered the army, and there are people who cannot be soldiers, they do not have the opportunity, or because of their physical health, but they can enter the militia and receive some military training, which is also considered to be enjoyable, and the veterans will sometimes be called up for training. They are the reserve force of the Republican Army.

The Republican Army is following the path of professionalism of military personnel, and when there is no large-scale combat mission, it will provide officers, professional non-commissioned officers. At the same time, a large number of militiamen, retired veterans will concentrate for a period of time for training. They will be registered in detail by the local recruiting station, no one knows why the republican army did this, but once a large-scale war breaks out, these are the mobilized military forces of the republican army, as long as it takes a while, they can quickly mobilize three infantry divisions, such mobilization ability, such a mobilization ability, not other local warlords can compare.

The Republican Army is reducing all kinds of financial burdens in this way, which is very beneficial to the rapid development of the Republican Army and reducing the pressure on the finances of military spending. The Republican Army must first remove some of the burdens that are too important, so that they can put their situation in a very strong situation, otherwise they themselves will not have such a situation. This is the most favorable situation they are currently experiencing, and the associated developments. This is the most favorable outcome.
