Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 558 Currency
After the discussion was over, Cao Jingzong, Murong Shaozong and other generals withdrew and left, leaving only civil servants such as Gao Yan, Shen Yi, Bu Zhi, Wang Guangyang and Pei Ju in the hall.

In the information sent by the Military Intelligence Department, in addition to the princes in the south of the Yangtze River, many spies were also placed in the north.

Among them, Chen Gong and Gao Shun's Pizhou army attacked Xuzhou.

"Chen Gong has taken Xuzhou... the speed is not slow!"

After Chen Gong and Gao Shun cooperated with Wang Jing to destroy Western Chu last time, they gained a lot of benefits. The camp and Bingzhou cavalry, which had suffered heavy losses, recovered quickly with the cultivation of a large amount of resources.The Pizhou army has also grown a lot.

When Li Shanchang was sorting out the internal affairs of Ancheng Mansion, he had frequent contacts with Pizhou, and exchanged a lot of food and weapons for a large amount of unprocessed resources from the Pizhou army.

The Huai army has benefited, and the Pizhou army has also made the soldiers in the army stronger through this kind of commercial exchange.

Xuzhou Tao Qian and Zang Ba, who were still stronger than the Pizhou army, were quickly defeated by Chen Gong and Gao Shun.

In the land of Xuzhou, there were originally several forces, including Tao Qian at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Red Eyebrow Army at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and Meng Haigong at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Later, these forces competed and merged with each other, and finally Tao Qian had the last laugh.

After destroying several forces in a row, Tao Qian also reached his limit. To the west was the rapidly growing Cao Wei, and to the east were Chen Gong and Gao Shun's Pizhou Army.

Before Tao Qian sent troops to the east, Chen Gong and Gao Shun joined forces to attack.

Tao Qian has Zang Ba, Cao Bao and other generals under Tao Qian's command, and his strength is not weak, but Gao Shun can rely on the trapped camp to exert a strong strength close to the ninth rank.

The Xuzhou army was defeated one after another, leaving only one city in Xuzhou.

On Wang Jing's way back from Shouchun, Tao Qian's last city was also breached.Tao Qian died in battle, and Zang Ba surrendered.

After Chen Gong and Gao Shun captured Xuzhou, they did not kill Tao Qian's family members, but spared the lives of the other two sons, and Zang Ba was also a general under Lu Bu's command.

Zang Ba belongs to the semi-separatist forces,

Although they are only masters and servants in name, they can also rely on this relationship to save their lives under Chen Gong and Gao Shun's hands when they are defeated.

Now Zang Ba has become Pizhou again, no, he is a general under the command of Xuzhou Army.

"After Chen Gong and Gao Shun captured Xuzhou, they sent someone to deliver a letter. Chen Gong was going to go south to Sihong in person, asking to see the king..."

"In my opinion, Chen Gong should have seen Cao Cao to the west and sensed the danger, so he wanted to go south to ask the king for help!"

Bu Zhi said.

Wang Jing nodded slightly, and said, "Chen Gongtai saw it very clearly! We really need to support the Xuzhou army! Xuzhou can fall into the hands of Lu Bu and Chen Gong, but it must not fall into the hands of Cao Cao!"

Which one is more threatening, Cao Cao or Lu Bu?

Everyone has an answer in mind.

Even if Lu Bu has the courage of ghosts and gods, he is the only one who is strong. Cao Cao is the real hero in troubled times and the ruler of the world.If Xuzhou is annexed by Cao Wei, then the Huai army will have no peace in the north.

"Where has he been?"

Wang Jing asked.

"Chen Gong has already arrived at Suining Mansion... In a short while, he will arrive at Sihong!"

Bu Zhi replied.

"Well, if Chen Gongtai arrives, you will entertain him. If you want any support, talk to him first..."

Wang Jing ordered.

Bu Zhi immediately agreed, and among the people present, only he and Chen Gong belonged to the Three Kingdoms era and had a common language, and he was also an important minister of the Huai army, so it was very appropriate for him to receive each other.

"The next thing is very important to our Huai Army, and that is the issuance of coins..."

After talking about the things in Xuzhou in the north.

Wang Jing asked someone to bring over a tray with three crystal coins on it, the colors of which were gold, silver and black.

The spiritual strength of everyone in the hall is not weak, and they can feel the vitality of heaven and earth from the three coins.

"These three kinds of coins are carefully minted by the construction department. The main material is spirit stone powder, and some gold, silver and copper metals are included. One of the black coins contains aura that can make the cloud car run ten miles. ..."

"A silver coin can make a cloud car travel a hundred miles, and a golden coin can travel a thousand miles!"

"If the vitality in the coin is absorbed, it will turn into powder..."

Wang Jing gave a brief introduction to everyone.

The three coins he designed are very simple, and they all have an exchange ratio of ten to one. Among them, the black crystal coin with the lowest value can be exchanged for about ten catties of grain.

This is the ratio temporarily set by many officials of the Ministry of Households after studying the prices of Sihong and other cities. It will definitely be adjusted with the issuance of the three kinds of coins in the future.

"Golden crystal money, silver crystal money, black crystal money..."

Although Shen Yi, Wang Guangyang and the others knew that Wang Jing had ordered the construction department to assign a large part of the manpower to study the minting of coins, they had too many things to do and their energy was thinned out, so they hadn't seen the real appearance of the three coins with their own eyes.

Now seeing the coins in the tray, I can't help but look at them seriously and think about them.

"Gu intends to set up a mint department, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Government Affairs. Now the mint furnace of the mint department has been minted. As long as there are enough spirit stones, coins can be minted continuously..."

"Now the Construction Department has minted 100 million gold crystal coins, 1000 million silver crystal coins, and 5000 million black crystal coins... I intend to promote these coins before the Southern Expedition."

Wang Jing expressed his thoughts.

In today's prefectures and counties of the Huai Army, the people at the bottom are still in the situation of bartering and using food stamps instead of currency.

Food stamps can temporarily serve as currency, but it is very inconvenient to use.

This has seriously affected the economic development of the Huai Army.

Currency improvement and the issuance of crystal coins are already imperative.The Southern Expedition is a matter of great importance and will not end in a short time, so Wang Jing resolved this matter first before dispatching troops.

Shen Yi, Wang Guangyang and the others looked at each other without any objection.

"Your Majesty, the method of currency promotion should not be too strong. I suggest that Sihong try it out now, and then promote it to the major provinces after the people of Sihong accept it!"

Shen Yi suggested.

Wang Jing smiled, knowing this without being reminded by the other party, but he still showed approval on his face.

"You are right in reminding, then try it out in Sihong first."

"By the way, when the grain stores under the name of the Ministry of Households and the Prince's Mansion are collecting grain, they can first use crystal coins instead of grain stamps. When collecting taxes, they must strictly order the officials of the tax department to implement it together. There are also the salaries of officials at all levels in the Huai Army. In the future, it will also be distributed in crystal coins!"

Everyone in the hall had no opinion.

After all, the gold, silver and black crystal coins that will be issued all contain aura and have value no matter what time they are. They are not the banknotes of the Ming Dynasty or the silver notes of the Qing Dynasty.

As long as there is a certain ability to preserve value, the three kinds of coins can be easily promoted in various prefectures and counties, so that both aristocratic families and ordinary people can accept them.

　I came back late...... The third watch is not finished, let's make it up tomorrow.
