Chapter 102 Economic Sanctions
The competition in the Grand Theatre is still in full swing.
Lively and boiling, covering up a small unhappiness.
What happened in the palace is hardly known to many people.
Perhaps when I come to my senses, this matter has been a long time ago, and there is no value in digging it out.
Hou Yi was imprisoned by Wen Zhong.
It was not disposed of directly.
In this regard, Chu He was handed over to Wen Zhong to deal with, whether it was killed or imprisoned, it was up to him.
After all, Hou Yi was born in the royal family of the Xia Dynasty, and he also served as an emperor, and he is a descendant of Dayu. How to deal with it seems inappropriate, this pot is still appropriate to be handed over to Wen Zhong.
However, Chu He summoned Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.
"Prepare for this, and now we will stop purchasing various minerals, timber and other resources from Xiqi, and at the same time close the exchange channel with Xiqi's currency. ”
"And after the explanation, all the silk silk, cloth, porcelain, tea and other luxury supplies, the supply volume of Xiqi increased by 30%. Open a special train to run transportation. ”
After a long time in the making, the economic network laid out by the Chu River finally began to show its sharp fangs.
A long time ago, Chu He deliberately controlled the acquisition of various mineral resources in Xiqi.
Therefore, in the past few years of development, Xiqi's economy has not lagged behind other vassal states, so that people as smart as Ji Chang's father and son have not seen anything wrong.
After all, although they are smart, their horizons have not been extended to thousands of years later, and some of the means of future generations have been known.
Chu He stopped purchasing resources from Xiqi, but at the same time continued to control the channel.
This is equivalent to cutting off most of Xiqi's 'income'.
Then leading a large number of commodities to be dumped in Xiqi is equivalent to squeezing the last copper in Xiqi.
Because of the development of the economy, there is also the intentional guidance of the Chu River.
Today, the largest number of miners and lumberjacks in Xiqi are the most traders, and almost all the merchants are engaged in minerals and forests.
Much of the land that had been used to grow food has been abandoned, and some other necessities have become sluggish.
If the Chu River drained Xiqi's Shang Dynasty copper coins and blocked their economic income, then Xiqi, which had relied on Shang Dynasty copper coins in the past to purchase a large amount of cheap grain and daily necessities, would inevitably fall into a predicament of lack of food and clothing, and could not sustain itself.
As for the currency of Xiqi itself, this kind of currency used in a small area in the local area was originally difficult to be recognized by the people of other vassal states, but at that time, everyone was obsessed with agriculture and self-sufficiency, and there were few cross-regional transactions, so the obstacles caused by different currencies were not so obvious.
But now the currency of the Shang Dynasty has already virtually abolished those messy currencies and deprived them of their functions.
It is only because the Shang Dynasty money houses opened in the major vassal states still exchange the coins of various countries according to a certain proportion, that most of the princes mistakenly believe that the currency they issue still has purchasing power.
After listening to Chu He's two orders, Cao Bao was still ignorant.
Xiao Sheng had already heard the tragic aura in it, and couldn't help but say: "National Teacher! Is it too drastic? As soon as this method was opened, although there was no bloodshed of people and blood, there was starvation everywhere, and countless casualties were inflicted. I'm afraid there will be boundless karma!"
Chu He sighed and said: "Poor Dao doesn't want to be like this, it's just that the ambition of the Xiqi wolf, even if my big business is thriving and the monarch is wise, they still want to provoke a war, cause chaos in the world, and take the opportunity to start a situation." Suffered the people of Xiqi, but saved the people of the world, which is more important... ”
Later, the tone turned low, and it didn't seem to be pleasant.
"Am I crying or not crying now? Although the tears are more emotionally relaxed, it seems a little deliberate, although Xiao Sheng Cao Bao can't see it, but I am a person who demands perfection from myself. does not shed tears, but the eyes show the color of worrying about the country and the people, and the responsibility of the country's society should be more magnificent... Chu He turned around, estimating how his acting skills should be played.
As for karma... Is Chu He afraid?
Don't be afraid!
Just leave this world and everything will be washed away.
What's more, acting like this, beating around the bush, not directly using force, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, whether there will be karma, or two words.
The so-called karma is actually the curse of the living beings who have been killed and mutilated, before they die.
If there are too many such curses, the synchronization effect is provoked, and some rules of heaven and earth are communicated, it will cause incomprehension.
Maybe it's some calamity, maybe it's some heavenly punishment, and any kind of situation can happen.
And the horror and disgusting thing about Chu He's method is that those who are persecuted don't know the reason at all, and they can't find the angry ones, and they can even only attribute their sins to heaven.
Xiao Sheng listened to Chu He's words, his expression changed several times, and finally thought that Chu He had really actively introduced him to those masters who taught recently, which could be regarded as keeping his promise.
"That's it! Don't make a big deal about it... Xiao Sheng was lucky in his heart.
Although he is sensitive to business and numbers, he has always lacked knowledge.
With the dispatch of economic weapons.
The common people who were far away in Xiqi suddenly found that there were many new silk, porcelain, and tea and tobacco shops on the street.
These luxury goods, which were originally ordinary people and rarely contaminated, seem to have become cheaper all of a sudden, and everyone can get some back if they are a little more willing to do so, which can be regarded as an experience of what the life of the superior people is like.
Then, it was discovered that there were fewer and fewer copper coins from the Shang Dynasty in the purse, and the work seemed to be a little difficult.
A large amount of ore and forest trees were transported out of the mountains and forests, but no one came to collect them.
Finally, the first rice shop closed.
A chain reaction ensued.
In Xiqi City, the shops selling grain in the streets and alleys have announced their closures.
The nobles and officials had their own fiefs, and although there were fewer and fewer slaves working the land, it was customary to store grain.
I haven't noticed anything wrong yet.
But ordinary people, the rice in the rice tank at home is getting less and less.
A sense of crisis has been quietly born in the hearts of many ordinary people in Xiqi City.
Several vassal states in the vicinity of Xiqi received letters from Chaoge and Xiqi.
Xibohou Jichang sent a letter, willing to exchange cheap resources for their food, and at the same time counted the past friendships, up to the ancestors many generations ago, down to the interpersonal exchanges in recent years. At the same time, it also declared that Xiqi's muscles were strong and secretly threatened, showing that if Xiqi really couldn't get along, he could only ignore friendship and benevolence, and launch a war outside, plundering food to survive.
However, the letter from the national teacher of Chaoge told them that the national teacher Shen Gongbao calculated the heavens and found that Xiqi Xibohou was arrogant and claimed to be a saint, and if he had sinned against the heavens, he would be punished and a disaster would befall him. They just need to ignore it, and it won't be long before a large number of Xiqi victims will pour out and enter their feudal country.
At that time, they will be able to become strong immediately as soon as they receive these victims.
Now who is not short of population among the princes of the world?
A large population represents a strong productive force, a market, and a thriving economy.
On the one hand, it is coerced by human feelings, and on the other hand, it is motivated by interests.
How to choose, it is naturally clear.
