Chapter 126: Dragon Coin Project

Keeping his eyes on the salt pile again, Liu Xing said without looking at Liang Xing: "Soul Breaking Array, ** Cave, the two barriers are here." Koujiazhuang also has a large array of defenses placed by the immortal family, I'm afraid that he will gather heavy troops to attack? Brother Liang, you just need to train the Tiance Guard and detect the movements of the golden dog and various places at any time. How to march, Ben Shuai naturally knows in his heart. ”

How could Liang Xing know that at this time, Liu Xing had no interest in rescuing Taiyuan City in his heart. Because just two days ago, Yue Fei received a flying pigeon message from an old colleague of his in the southern retreat of the Pingding Army, saying that Zhao Huan, the incompetent faint king, had sent the first batch of female dependents to the golden dog.

Started to send female dependents to the golden dog, what does that mean? It means that Zhao Huan will not be taken away by the golden dog and escorted to the Five Kingdoms City with his Lao Tzu in a few days. The Great Song Dynasty, at least the Northern Song Dynasty, is about to come to an end.

As soon as the Northern Song Dynasty died, according to the intelligence obtained a few days ago, Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, who had already led his troops and began to flee south, would inevitably become emperor and open a new history of the Southern Song Dynasty.

At that time, an emperor who often rebelled and didn't even care about his own father, mother and wife came to the throne, and Liu Xing didn't think that Zhao Gou would continue to organize troops to rescue Taiyuan.

The emperor didn't save Taiyuan, and Liu Xing didn't believe that with the diǎn men and horses in his hands, he would still have the ability to drive the golden dog away from Hedong after saving Taiyuan City.

Moreover, even if Wang Yu and Zhang Xiaochun are rescued, they are both foolish and loyal factions, and they are the same people as the seed masters. Rescuing those two people and painstakingly poisoning them to the point of being unconscious is tantamount to doing more.

It is enough to use the seed master to pull the banner and be a tiger skin, so Liu Xing is no longer thinking about how to save Taiyuan at this time, but how to make his Red Turban Army accelerate its development and become stronger.

In today's troubled times, whoever holds the military power in his hands will have more rights to survive. In the era when the previous dynasty was about to die and the new dynasty was about to be established, only those who could be strong and strong and sweep the Quartet had the qualifications to negotiate conditions and reason with the insidious, despicable and despicable King Kang in the future.

There is another idea, although Liu Xing has not completely thought about it, he absolutely agrees with it: as long as Jin Bing escorts the two faint monarchs to the north, he will inevitably pass through Zhending Mansion. The soldiers and horses in the hands of the young master are strong enough, so he seized the opportunity to snatch them directly for the two faint monarchs to see how the sinister and cunning King Kang could still be the emperor......

Liang Xing cannot understand the general trend of the world, let alone know as clearly as Liu Xing that even if the historical trajectory begins to change, the changes that will occur in this era and the future results will be achieved.

But after seeing that Liu Xing no longer paid attention to him and firmly said that he did not need to participate in the march affairs too much, he could only retreat and stand aside.

Seeing that Liang Xing stood aside and did not speak, Su Quan came up to Liu Xing and said with a smile: "Marshal, are you sure you want to create a new currency by yourself?" ”

Gently diǎn diǎn head, Liu Xing said: "Yes, I have carefully looked at the currencies of all parties in the world now in circulation in the past few days, and only those extremely far Western Yi currencies from the Western Regions are the most reasonable model. Gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, small coins, and the support of the four-level monetary system will be truly stable.

And you should have seen that the currencies of the countries of the far west are full of gold and silver, and copper contains gold, silver, iron and other ores. The currency created under this model is durable and ensures that the currency will not depreciate easily, so I decided to create the 'Dragon Coin System'. ”

"But Marshal, although this coinage can strengthen our army's wealth, it may not really be usable."

Su Quan was still smiling, and after a pause, he said: "First, there are too few places that our army actually controls now, and there will inevitably be many obstacles to the circulation of the currency created. Secondly, if the Marshal Tanaka City must adopt the method of gold and silver to carry it out, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among many foreign merchants. Marshal, please think again. ”

After listening to this, Liu Xing grabbed a palm-sized piece of salt and turned around and sat on the ground, looked at Su Quan and said, "The territory controlled by our army is small, but haven't you figured it out these days?" Now the golden dog is wantonly plundering in Hedong and Hebei, and is rampant. Many of the private businesses actually originated in the Hunter Valley. It can be said that if Hebei's salt, grain, iron and other things want to be sold to Hedong, the safest route is to transfer them through our Hunter Valley, and if they want to sell Hedong's coal and other things to Hebei and other places, I must also handle it. That is to say, if the master orders to cut off the trade between the two places, or increases the cost of accommodation, food and other expenses for past merchants, they will face the threat of multiplying costs at any time. If you are a businessman, are you willing to steep the cost, or are you willing to give up our safest trade route? Or, is it to accept the use of my 'dragon coins' for currency that has become a private business? The cost has increased sharply, and the master can make him change a pound of salt from twenty-five dollars to fifty dollars, or even more than a hundred dollars a pound of salt. ”

Speaking of this, a sly smile faintly appeared on Liu Xing's face: "Give up our road, that's good, you should take other channels, and the golden dog will make the merchants lose their money at any time." But if you use the master's 'dragon coin', not only will you save some costs when you enter the Hunter Valley to live in a hotel and eat, but you will even get a certain amount of concessions and subsidies from my Marshal's Mansion when you run goods in the valley. ”

At this point, Liu Xing paused slightly, looked at Su Quan and said: "Which is the pros and which is the disadvantage, Su Quan, you think about it, what would you do if you were a businessman?" To oppose me is to die. Working with me, it will not be a loss, but a benefit. Out of the Hunter Valley, the 'Dragon Coins' are real money. If they are afraid, they can be re-smelted into gold and silver ingots, do you think it is necessary for the merchants to go against the master? ”

When he said these words, Liu Xing actually had a more vicious idea in his heart: since the Hunter Valley has become the only private business channel on both sides of Taihang Mountain, then the master will turn this channel into a sharp weapon to change the direction and use commercial means to extract gold and silver from the hands of the golden dog.

Whoever seizes the power of the army will be able to live in peace. Whoever seizes the golden power will be able to enrich the country and strengthen the army. The master does not need to levy taxes arbitrarily, but uses private business methods that make the golden dog unguardable and impossible to prevent and eliminate from his hands......

After hearing this, Su Quan lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Really, if I were a merchant, I would rather exchange the 'Dragon Coins' in the valley first for market trade." When you get out of the valley, even if you encounter the golden dog again, these 'dragon coins' are easy to hide and carry, and even if they are remelted, they will lose at most half of their income. ”

At this point, after Su Quan stopped talking slightly, he turned into an inquiry and asked: "Then dare to ask the marshal, what do you have requirements for this mold?" ”

"Gold coins, silver coins, all the front with the dragon pattern, the north with the Jiahe pattern, the front cast 'Yan Huang Chongbao', the back cast 'dragon in the world' eight words." Liu Xing frowned and thought about it, and said half of the idea he had already thought of.

After thinking for a moment, he continued: "The gold and silver coins, all made of pure gold and pure silver, weigh seven and a half coins. Copper coins are divided into large coins and small coins, one large coin is worth ten small coins, and the weight is also seven and a half coins, but seven parts of copper and three points of iron are used to smelt together. The small coin is seven cents of iron and three cents of copper, and the weight is two and a half cents. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xing paused again and continued: "No matter what kind of money is outside the valley, the one that comes to exchange is ten copper coins for one small coin, and thirty iron coins for one. One big coin, 100 copper coins and 300 iron coins outside the grain. One silver coin for ten dragon coins, which can be used outside the valley. One gold coin for one dragon coin for a hundred large coins, which can reach ten times outside the valley. ”

After stopping his words for the third time and thinking about it again, Liu Xing spoke again: "Anyone who uses the Dragon Coin City Exchange can go to the Marshal's Mansion City Yi Division to receive a one-twentieth subsidy when they leave the valley. In other words, whoever uses my dragon coins, he buys a hundred dragon coins, and I give him five dragon coins. ”

When Liu Xing was talking about the entire "Dragon Coin Plan", Su Quan never spoke. He listened and calculated, and when Liu Xing finished speaking, he also quickly calculated how much income each dragon coin would bring to his craftsman's minting camp if this plan was implemented.

As soon as Liu Xing's voice fell, Su Quan immediately laughed and straightened up, rubbed his hands and said: "Hehe, as long as the marshal's set is implemented, with the ability of my newly established foundry battalion, it should be no problem to make 1,000 gold coins, 10,000 silver coins, 100,000 big coins and 100,000 small coins a month." Excluding the cost, just this money is created and exchanged, and the public treasury can earn at least two or three thousand taels of gold! ”

"Don't think it's so good, the master hasn't finished yet." Liu Xing saw that he was smiling a little arrogantly, and poured a scoop of cold water on his head to cool him down: "In order to prevent the valley from being short of gold and silver due to the exchange of dragon coins, we also need to encourage merchants to deposit the gold and silver they earn into my Tongbao Silver Account." Anyone who deposits dragon coins will raise the interest rate by half. ”

I wanted to cool him down, but Liu Xing didn't expect Su Quan to laugh even more arrogantly after hearing this: "Haha...... Marshal, your whimsical ideas are truly unparalleled in the world! In this way, Tongbao Silver is not afraid of running out of money to continue to lend official loans. Use the money saved by those people to help the Hunter Valley continue to grow its strength rapidly, haha, the marshal is too powerful! ”

At this level, Liu Xing thought at all, and after listening to his laughing words, Liu Xing suddenly woke up: I'm gone! I didn't expect that the banks in later generations would actually be the same, and most of them were borrowing the money deposited by depositors in the bank to lend and make profits. Learning applied chemistry and playing finance is really not as fast as Su Quan, an ancient businessman with more and more businessmen's minds!
