Chapter 183: A Rich Man, It's Hard for a Man Without Money (7)

"In the history of the Chinese nation, there has been a lack of currency for circulation, especially in the Qin and Han dynasties, because the insufficient amount of currency hindered commercial activities and material circulation, which was extremely unfavorable to the development of the country, and the reason for the shortage of currency: natural disasters and man-made disasters!

Natural Disaster: China's major gold and silver deposits, distributed in the Kunlun Mountains in the northwest, the Changbai Mountains in the northeast, and the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest, have not been included in the national territory during the Han Dynasty, or cannot be developed!

The lack of gold and silver, the two major precious metals, made the Chinese people retreat to the next best thing, using copper as the main currency (Daye and Huangshi in Jingzhou, Huiji and Danyang in Yangzhou, and Shu County in Yizhou all have a large number of copper mines. )

Man-made disaster: Because of the low production technology, less copper ore was mined during the Han Dynasty, and most of the casting ceremonies, musical instruments, furniture, and tableware were used, and very few were used to mint currency!

The Chinese people also have the 'bad habit of saving money', and always hide the gold, silver, and copper coins they get in the walls or bury them deep in the ground for the needs of future generations, and the amount of currency that can be used for circulation is even smaller!

As early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were clever ministers who proposed to replace grain with metal currency and distribute Lu to officials at all levels to reduce the consumption in the transportation process.

Because the currency was in the hands of the ministers, they recruited craftsmen and set up private workshops, which were either melted down into gold bricks and silver ingots and stored, or recast into fine utensils, and sold them for huge profits, and there were fewer and fewer people for circulation, so that the people could only barter and reward the soldiers without coins.

For example, Cao Ying has a rule that a soldier who has a head can be rewarded with five taels of gold, but there is no gold in the treasury, and even copper coins are not enough, so they can only give a considerable amount of five taels of gold in kind, such as grain, silk, and land.

Although the consumption of food is huge, it can delay the loss of metal currency, so that the people can have money to use, which is also a helpless move, after all, the officials receive food, and they can't also bury it deep underground, right?

"Da Sima replaced Lu rice with currency, which reduced the consumption of transportation on the way, although it is beneficial to the country and the people, but when the currency is in the hands of the powerful, it is like entering the mouth of Pixiu, I am afraid it will be difficult to come out!

Once a large-scale money shortage is triggered due to insufficient currency, the harm is ten times greater than the civil unrest, but I am afraid that the society will be turbulent and the world will be in chaos, not to mention that the officials will be fed with their mouths, and it will cause public anger if they change it back! ”

As an internal affairs official, Chen Qun is very aware of the dangers of 'money shortage', compared to wars, floods, plagues, and droughts...... The world may not be afraid of death, but afraid of having no money to spend!

Moreover, the distribution of Lu Lu with currency makes officials of all sizes very happy, once Lu rice is re-issued because of insufficient currency, under the huge gap in heart, endless anger will erupt, and the entire bureaucratic class will be angry, and Cao Cao and Xiao Yi may not be able to bear it?

"Hehe, Wen Chang is thoughtful and skilled in government affairs, if he can open his mind and make friends with talents, his future is limitless!"

"Don't worry too much about the destruction of money by the powerful, this great Sima has already made a decision, whoever destroys more money in the future, who will cry more miserably!"

Xiao Yat has a long-term vision, he has always taken one step and looked at ten steps, since he dares to use currency to make money, he naturally has a way to deal with the 'money shortage':

First of all: twenty-eight large mines, more than half of which contain gold, silver, and copper precious metals, and hundreds of wealthy merchants join forces to mine them, and the output must be very staggering, and they can be used to mint new currencies to make up for the lack of circulation.

Secondly, the power of Buddhism is malignantly inflated, accumulating a large amount of wealth at the same time, but also constantly destroying metal currency, used to cast gold Buddha, silver shrines, bronze bells, copper suffocation, only Xuchang City inside and outside the temple more than 100, how much wealth should be stored?

I'm going to destroy the Buddha, there must be a lot of resistance in the middle, and now the money is used to distribute the money, which is equivalent to winning over the hearts of the officials, for the sake of their own money bags, they also have to fully support themselves, destroy the Buddha statue to mint coins, right?

In the end, after you suppress Buddhism and stabilize the Central Plains People's Uprising, it's time to clean up the magnates, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, play financial games with yourself, and don't kill these fools!

The people of Taicang are troubled and difficult to think quietly, so Cui Lie, Meng Jian and the students stayed and continued to distribute money to the officials, Xiao Yi took more than a dozen guards and returned to the Wushou Hou Mansion by car, ready to take a good rest, and then plan a strategy......

"The subordinates congratulate Da Sima - the words of advice, I dare not forget!"

Chen Qun was sent all the way to the gate, looking at the van in the distance, recalling the conversation just now, and his heart couldn't help but rise and fall......

He was born in a famous family in Yingchuan, and his ancestors were all dignitaries, and he attached great importance to the difference between the families, so the friends he usually made were all from the Shi family, and he had little contact with the children of the Han family!

Let yourself 'open your mind and make friends with the virtuous', obviously it is to break the view of the family and make more friends with the children of the poor family, it seems that the big Sima shows good at the same time, he is still biased towards the poor family in his bones!

There is also the last sentence: 'Whoever destroys more coins, who will cry more miserably', this is Xiao Yi's unintentional words, or do you want to use yourself to pass on a word to let the Shi clan gate valve group restrain a little, because they are the most powerful in destroying coins?

Ghost-faced Xiao Lang said a gossip, and he had to think about it three times, if he accidentally stood on the wrong team, he was afraid that he would die without a place to be buried!

…………………………………………………………………………

"The husband is skillful, and he has gathered mountains of gold and silver overnight, if he abandons his official position to do business, he will be the first chaebol in the world, and he will be the richest woman in the world as a wife--hehe!"

"Who said no, if it was a business back then, my husband would have been rich in the world, enjoy a peaceful and quiet life, and have less troubles in the court!"

"I'm afraid that my husband's wealth and nobility will be too heavy, so I will sit at home behind closed doors, and I will trouble coming forward!"

"How do you say this, could it be that there is a guest coming to the door?"

………………

Xiao Yi returned to the Hou Mansion, Cao Jie immediately greeted him, personally served tea and water, repelled the left and right people, and after a few ridicules, he took out a letter......

It turned out that when Xiao Yi was sitting in Taicang and distributing Yulu to officials of all sizes, there were several waves of guests from the Hou Mansion without worry, namely Shangshu Cheng Yu, Servant Shot Manzhong, Jianwei General Jia Kui, and Che Cavalry General Cao Hong...... There are more than a dozen people before and after!

The relationship between the powerful and the powerful is complicated, and some things that are not easy to say clearly are often conveyed through the ladies, and it is naturally the best to do it, and there is room to retreat if it is not done, so as not to fall into an embarrassing situation, this is lady diplomacy!

Cao Jie, as the housewife of the Hou Mansion, naturally came forward to receive it, but he didn't expect the guests to come in more than a dozen waves, but the purpose was the same, to help the Tianyi Temple-Shenguang monk to mediate......

What is on Xuanwu Street, the monks have eyes and do not know Mount Tai, and collided with Da Sima's car, which was an unintentional mistake, not an intentional offense!

After Shenguang Zen Master knew about it, he had already severely punished the troublemakers, and hoped that the great Sima would not deal with a few small monks and lose his status as an important minister of the state......

Immediately afterwards, a team of bald monks came, carrying a large number of valuable gifts, as well as a letter from Jinguang Zen Master, hoping that Da Sima could visit Tianyi Temple in his spare time, and the two sides would enjoy tea and discuss Zen and resolve misunderstandings!

Cao Jie is not a traitor's daughter, although he didn't witness what happened, he also guessed eight or nine points, and he didn't easily agree to anything because of a few good words from the women, but cleverly and vaguely responded!

Cao Jie accepted the letter from the Shenguang monk on his behalf, and promised to transfer it to his husband, but he insisted on not accepting all kinds of gifts, and he didn't reply to the invitation, so he let the monks send the gifts out of the door!

"I'm a disciple of Taoism, and I enveloped the Sanqing Tianzun, and I came to discuss Zen with the monks, isn't it ridiculous, and they still want to save me?"

After listening to his wife's story, Xiao Yi didn't look at it, and threw the letter directly into the charcoal brazier, he is a great Sima, a countryman without worries, a famous general with a heavy army, and an important minister who supports Sheji, how can he let a monk call and drink?

If the Shenguang monk takes the initiative to come to the door, kneel on the ground and plead guilty, and read it in the face of his master and disciple, he can still show mercy to his subordinates and not let the Buddhists be too sad!

I didn't think that this bald monk, who has been worshiped by the world for too long, really regards himself as a living Buddha, let Xiao Yi come to Tianyi Temple in person, isn't it a disguised bow to him, since you are killing yourself, I will let you get your wish!

Then again, Buddhism has been introduced to Middle-earth for nearly two hundred years, and has taken root and spread out, with thousands of temples in various places, tens of thousands of monks and nuns, and nearly one million believers, and its influence is extremely huge!

A small Shenguang monk can actually drive more than a dozen important ministers of the court to send his wife to lobby in the Wuwu Hou Mansion, which shows that the power of Buddhism has penetrated deep into the court, if it is allowed to develop, the consequences are unimaginable?

Originally, they wanted to use force to uproot the power of Buddhism, but the monks returned to the lay people to do labor, the Buddha statues melted and minted coins, the temples were converted into shelters, and the land was distributed to the people......

But if you do that, it will inevitably kill too much, and the rabbit will bite people when it is anxious, not to mention tens of thousands of monks and millions of believers, if there is a 'bald uprising', it will not end well!

Besides, a country and a nation cannot be without religious beliefs, and if the monks are driven away, Taoism should be viciously inflated, which is also unfavorable to the country, as evidenced by the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

It is best for the Buddha and the Tao to pinch each other, and the imperial court will fan the flames, whoever is weak will support it, and whoever is strong will Liu punch it, so that the two families will consume each other and be evenly matched, so as to ensure the imperial power and always override the divine power!

The Buddha knelt down for 3,000 years in front of him, and he didn't see my Buddha feel pity,

Mo Daochen covered his eyes, and he didn't invest in incense money.

The Buddha is not greedy for money, so why should he accept offerings from the world?

Buddha is not evil? Why can't the world be disrespectful?

……………………

Xiao Yi shook his head, dragged Cao Jie to the bedroom, prepared to sleep beautifully, and woke up full of energy and a good mood, maybe there was a good way...... If you can't extinguish it, you will kill it!
