Approaching the end of the year, the vast land of Guanzhong is full of happy people.

Because, the harvest season is coming!

Looking at the heavy millet seedlings in the field, the farmers couldn't close their mouths together.

This year, God is very face-saving, the wind and rain in Guanzhong are smooth, and the sunshine is sufficient, so this year must be a big harvest year!

Farmers who have worked hard for a year can finally reward themselves at the end of this year.

Especially this year, the Son of Heaven also made a decree to exempt the field tax for the sake of the Han Dynasty, as long as one tax is paid.

Therefore, these days, almost all the peasants are busy harvesting the grass in the fields, drying it, and then tying it into bundles to be handed over to the imperial court.

But the common people were happy, but the bureaucrats and landlords were not so happy.

"Master, this year's Guanzhong grain protection price has been posted under the cloth, according to the prince's requirements, the highest price of corn this year is 60 yuan a stone, and the lowest price is 40 yuan ...... stone, if there is anything higher or lower than this price, Shaofu will sell or buy it at this price." Many Guanzhong landlords and big grain merchants finally waited for this announcement that would determine their fate.

It was unexpected.

After listening to their reports, their respective masters breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

The lowest price is 40 yuan, and the highest price is 60 yuan, which basically maintains the average level of grain prices in Guanzhong last year.

Although it is said that the price is artificially forced to die, the price of food has lost room for maneuver.

However, comparatively. In this, there is still enough room for profit, which is operated by the vast majority of landlords and merchants.

That is, the interests of small and medium-sized landlords and small and medium-sized businessmen, who account for the overwhelming majority. In fact, the damage is not much.

Since this is the case, then ......

"Go and tell the people of the Du family, their family's affairs have nothing to do with me...... "Almost most of the landlords made a decision immediately after learning about the upper and lower limits of the protective price of grain.

No one in this world is stupid.

The gods are fighting, and the little ants insist on getting in, isn't that looking for death?

Not to mention. Has anyone changed Liu's decision in the past twenty or thirty years?

Meanwhile. An official document from the Yamen of the Inner History was also placed on the desk of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant of the seventy-five counties in Guanzhong.

After reading these county orders and county lieutenants, they did not dare to slack off, and immediately called their appointed pro-confidants to the front and gave them a lecture.

"In the imperial history, the Yamen of the history of the text. The implementation of the grain protection price has been included in the future assessment content...... "A county order to his relatives and confidants like what kind of torture, pavilion chief, tour payment, and husband." issued his order: "I know that someone is trying to woo you, but you have all thought clearly, your position is given by the official, who wants to hinder the promotion of the official, the official will make him uncomfortable for the rest of his life!" ”

The so-called broken county order, the order to destroy the door!

Who would dare to take it lightly in front of the real rulers of these local regimes?

The prefectural order of the Han family. However, it has the power to directly appoint and dismiss the pavilion chief and the tour of the bottom!

As the saying goes, the current official is not as good as the current management.

The pavilion chief at the bottom can not bird the policy issued by the minister of two thousand stones, but he definitely does not dare to offend the top boss.

Thereupon. These low-level officials bowed down and agreed: "No, the county has an order, and the little ones naturally dare not disobey!" ”

Who called this year the big exam of the imperial court?

As for some guys who have already received benefits, they have thought about it in private, and I feel that this Du Shi is really not afraid of death!

Dare to go against the heavenly family.

It seems that this Du Shi is going to die.

This ship is sinking!

Case......

What has already been eaten in your mouth is naturally your own!

Even, the bold people have begun to think about what benefits they can get after the fall of the Du family.

Well, the Du family's several Zhuangzi and workshops in this county look quite delicious......

The world is so cruel.

Sending charcoal in the snow, few people can do it, but there are a lot of people who fall into the well!

………………………………………………

Liu Che was in the palace at the moment looking at the reports that came back from the counties of Guanzhong.

There is no way, it will be the autumn harvest soon, and it is time to test whether he, the prince, can smash the chains connected by the rich merchants in Guanzhong.

No one in the entire Tai Womb dared to take it lightly.

"Home, the report from Huayin County is back...... Ji Di hurriedly trotted in with a bamboo slip, bowed down and said: "Huayin County is calm, the market merchants are calm, and the civil landlords and gentry are as in the past, and there is nothing abnormal!" ”

"It's hard work!" Liu Che nodded, and hurriedly asked Wang Dao to prepare tea.

"Taniguchi County Emergency ......" Yi Zong ran in panting, and reported: "Taniguchi is as usual!" ”

Liu Che also nodded, and asked him to sit down with a smile.

He looked at the reports from the counties of Guanzhong that were piled up on his case.

Today, 60 of the 75 counties in this pass have sent back reports, and they are basically calm.

This shows that Liu Che's move is right.

The general trend has been achieved, and those big businessmen who are trying to confront him in vain are just using their mantis arms as cars!

To be honest, in order to deal with this qiē, Liu Che has worked hard.

That is, he pulled down the dough to ask for mistakes, discussed with Yang Fen in the imperial history, and asked Yang Fen to suppress the local county order and county lieutenant.

Then, to make sure nothing goes wrong.

Liu Che even made concessions on the issue of grain protection prices.

Originally, Liu Che set a minimum of forty-five yuan and a maximum of fifty-five yuan.

In order to make this policy more acceptable, Liu Che conceded five yuan respectively, taking last year's average.

It turned out to be a wise choice.

At this moment, the vast majority of the landlords and merchants in the entire Guanzhong did not have any opposition or criticism, but calmly accepted this policy.

"Chairman Mao is right, politics, that is, to unite the majority and crack down on a handful!" Liu Che sighed in his heart: "Any reform. It is all built on the basis of benefiting the majority in order to be successful! ”

There have been many reforms in history.

The original intention of the reform was to change the unfavorable situation of the country, but in the end they all failed.

The famous Wang Anshi's reform made the civilized and powerful Northern Song Dynasty go to extinction.

And these losers. They all have one thing in common, that is, they forget to take care of the interests of most landlords, gentry and nobles, and the attack is too large, even if there is support from the top, but the middle and lower classes have all kinds of resistance and resistance.

Successful reforms, such as those of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, first took care of the interests of the aristocracy and gentry and landlords. That's why it's going to be successful.

As for the reform of Taizong of the Celestial Dynasty in later generations, it was only after feeding the bureaucratic class that it succeeded later.

Think so. Liu Che already had an understanding.

Now, this first step can be regarded as stepping out, and his name as the prince has also begun.

Well, there's only one thing left.

Punish someone as a warning to others!

Since those big businessmen dare to go against him, the prince. That's it. They are enemies.

No mercy is needed for the enemy!

Not to mention......

So many pairs of eyes are staring at it!

In this era, it is not important to repay grievances with virtue.

This society, which advocates great revanchism and advocates revenge by blood, only says one sentence: repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?

"Go and sue Sù Drama Meng, let's get moving!" Liu Che instructed Wang Dao lightly.

"No!" Wang Dao nodded. Retreated, doorway. Ji Meng, who couldn't hold back for a long time, turned red.

This battle is a battle in which he made a name for himself and made his official debut in the political arena, and he was only allowed to succeed and not fail.

After receiving the order, Ju Meng turned to look at the hundreds of heavily armed men who lined up to occupy the entire garden, and asked, "Gentlemen, is the evidence conclusive?" ”

"Returning to the Captain, the evidence is conclusive!" The crowd sang in unison.

The big businessman who came out in Guanzhong, that one didn't have a few lives or a few bloody cases.

It's just that, before, there was an umbrella to protect it.

But at this moment, the prince attacked strongly, and the thieves were all in the yamen, and those umbrellas had already shrunk their heads.

Many of the original rangers, as long as they thought of those nobles who were invincible in the past, had to tremble in front of them, and their hearts were excited.

………………………………

In the hall, Liu Che's attention shifted to other things.

"Zhang Tang!" Liu Che strode forward, walked up to Zhang Tang, and asked, "So far, how many five baht coins have been minted?" ”

"Back to the family, so far, a total of 27,540,000 five-baht coins have been minted,......" Zhang Tang had already prepared, and immediately reported a series of numbers: "A total of more than 190,000 catties of copper and more than 60,000 catties of iron and lead have been ......"

Liu Che nodded when he heard this.

That's a pretty good number.

Theoretically, if a pound of pure copper is not doped, then it can probably cost five baht, eighty to ninety pieces.

But is there such a conscientious minting of money?

Money that is not mixed with iron and lead...... Hehe......

I'm afraid, such money simply can't circulate......

The reason is simple, if this is the case, then the smart Chinese will immediately melt all the money, cast it into bronze and sell it, and then use the money from the sale of copper to continue to cast copperware.

Relatively speaking, the ratio of copper to iron and lead in the five baht coins minted by Liu Che reached nearly four to one.

This is already the most conscientious batch of coins since the Han family minted money!

Well, the batch of three-baht coins minted by Liu Bang back then was simply miserable! Sixty or seventy percent of them are impurities......

So much so that it is almost impossible to see it on the market now......

And the four-baht coin minted by Deng Tong in Shu County probably reached three to one ratio of iron to lead.

In this way, the currency market in the north swept away a qiē ox ghost snake god and unified the coins of the north.

As for the Wu Qian of Wu Wang Liu Bi, it is generally slightly better than Deng Tong's minted money, but it is not much better.

Liu Che's five-baht coin not only has a high copper content, but also weighs heavier than most other coins circulating in the market.

Thinking like this, Liu Che felt that his five baht should be able to easily dominate the currency market in Guanzhong.

The only regret is that it costs too much copper to mint money! Just a batch of coinage, it exhausted all the copper products mastered by Liu Che, the prince, and even had to take tens of thousands of catties of copper from Shaofu.

China, on the other hand, is not a copper-rich country.

At present, the largest known copper ore vein in China is actually under the rule of Liu Bi, the king of Wu......

"Go get a box of copper coins, and take it into the palace to show your father......" Liu Che ordered.

"No!" Zhang Tang nodded and retreated. (To be continued......)
