The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

"Actually, this is also very simple. We divide paper currency into two types."

"One is to exist as a currency in the market. Suppose we set it as a gold ticket. The gold ticket can be a fixed amount, such as five thousand and five baht, 100 baht, [-] baht, [-] Five baht or even one million.”

"These golden tickets can be circulated in the market. Anyone who takes them to the bank can exchange them for him. But at the same time, in order to prevent fraud, these golden tickets must be coded according to a specific code, and even have various anti-counterfeiting measures. , can always play a role in preventing counterfeiting.”

"There are many anti-counterfeiting methods. For example, complex patterns are made on golden tickets, which are difficult to imitate. Moreover, we must use specific paper for making golden tickets. We have improved it when we studied papermaking in military schools. There are many types of paper, carefully select the paper that is the most difficult to make and the most complicated to make, and start to make golden tickets, so that it is not so easy to make fakes."

"And let's formulate another rule. Anyone who catches the counterfeiters and punishes the nine clans, and writes it into the law, can somewhat curb some of these situations from happening."

Compared with some harm caused by fear of others' counterfeiting, in fact, the emergence of Qianzhuang can really bring more benefits.

In contrast, Liu Zheng can bear these small disadvantages.

However, this matter is of great importance after all. After discussing with Mi Fang, Liu Zheng did not directly ask Mi Fang to implement it, but invited four assistant ministers from his cabinet to discuss it.

I want to discuss clearly the feasibility of this bank and the specific method of operation.

Xu You, Shi Xie, Gu Yong, and Zhang Zhao were summoned by Liu Zheng, and immediately began to discuss the feasibility of this bank with Liu Zheng.

Among the four of them, Xu You didn't have much say in Qian Zhuang because he didn't know the existence of this thing, while Shi Xie and Gu Yong knew relatively well.

Because both of them are from big families, and both of them have some ways of doing business in the family, they can understand the convenience brought by Liu Zheng's bank.

Leaving aside the so-called bank note system, just the storage of coins provided by banks can bring about a subversion to the world.

In this world, there is no shortage of rich people, but the money of rich people cannot provide a good guarantee. There are too many robbers and bandits, who often enter the house to loot, and if you can deposit money in the bank, only you can go withdraw money.

Many people put their money in the bank for safety reasons, not to mention that the bank can provide them with some interest, which makes them more willing to put their money in the bank.

Then there is the existence of the golden ticket, it is simply a detonating existence.

You know, the five baht coin in the Han Dynasty was just a small copper plate, one alone, it doesn't look big, it's very convenient.

But things in this era are not cheap at all. In many cases, a meal in a restaurant costs two hundred five baht, and a pot of wine costs dozens of five baht.

And if it is to crochet houses, horses and other things, it will cost tens of thousands of five baht at a time.

One, a dozen, or even dozens, hundreds are not too many.

But after tens of thousands, it is not something that can be easily carried by hand, but needs to be packed in a box.

Especially when Liu Zheng was doing business with the Mi family before, the money he earned was often millions, or even tens of millions.

That would have to be transported by horse-drawn carriage.

And if there is a golden ticket, a few pieces of paper, which can represent millions, or even tens of millions, of five baht, wouldn't that be a beautiful thing?

So after discussing with several cabinet ministers, they still decided that this matter must be done, and the sooner the better.

Chapter 761 You Are Young and Vigorous

Liu Zheng basically told these cabinet ministers about his suggestions for the bank.

These cabinet ministers need to discuss a relatively complete procedure before they can implement it further, and even if they really want to implement it, they must start with the first concept of depositing and withdrawing money.

Regarding the paper currency of the gold ticket, it still needs to be discussed.

And Liu Zheng did not continue to discuss this matter with several cabinet ministers here. As the emperor, he had other things to do when he was just proclaiming himself emperor.

That is to go to the major military camps, meet soldiers from all over the place, and improve their morale.

Because he had to start with the closest one, Liu Zheng chose Guangling County for the first stop.

Guangling County is a county that Liu Zheng took back from Lu Zhi with his troops before. It belongs to Xuzhou, but it also borders Yangzhou, so it has become a place heavily guarded by Liu Zheng.

In addition to Wenpin's [-] troops stationed here, there is also Tai Shici's [-] soldiers and horses stationed in Huainan, forming a corner and taking care of each other.

Because of proclaiming himself emperor, Liu Zheng was worried that the imperial court would fight him at all costs, so Liu Zheng was worried that something would happen to Guangling, so he sent the newly formed Zhou Yu's first battalion here.

The 16-year-old Zhou Yu is no different from an adult.

Cooperating with Sun Ce, the two men were also appointed by Liu Zheng as a battalion last year. They recruited 2 people in Liu Zheng's territory. Although these 2 people only trained for half a year, they were enough to send them Some use up.

Because Zhou Yu was dispatched abroad, he rarely followed Liu Zheng. Naturally, the first place Liu Zheng came to was Zhou Yu's barracks.

Wenpin's troops were stationed in Guangling County, Taishici's troops were stationed in Huainan County, and Zhou Yu's troops were stationed between Huainan and Guangling.

A place called Xuyi County.

Here, near Hongze Lake.With the assistance of the Huaihe River System, it is a good place to train the navy here.

Some of Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses are navy troops, so it is very good for him to be stationed here.

When Liu Zheng's Luanjia appeared in Xuyi County, Zhou Yu's barracks, he didn't see Zhou Yu here.

"Yun Mo, where's that kid Zhou Yu?"

Most of the lieutenants under Zhou Yu are the students who were in the military academy before Liu Zheng. They are a group of young people. This Yun Mo is Shangguan Yun Mo, a young man who was as famous as Sun Ce before.

After graduating from the military school with Sun Ce, he practiced in Huang Zhong's barracks for a year, and then was transferred by Liu Zheng to Zhou Yu's camp.

Zhou Yu was canonized by Liu Zheng as a colonel, and Sun Ce was also a colonel. The two of them commanded a battalion of soldiers and horses, one article and one military.

As for Shangguan Yunmo, good students of the same class, naturally one by one, either a lieutenant colonel or a major, naturally became the mainstay of Zhou Yu's army.

"Return to Your Majesty, General Zhou Zhouyu, went to Dongcheng."

"Dongcheng, what did he do in Dongcheng?"

Liu Zheng also knew about Dongcheng, which belonged to Xiapi Kingdom in Xuzhou.

Being in the middle of Liu Zheng and the imperial court, it is neither under the jurisdiction of Liu Zheng nor the imperial court.

Because the imperial court did not have enough troops to garrison so many counties, Guan Yu, who was stationed in Xuzhou in a small county like Dongcheng, gave up directly. Liu Zheng, although he had ideas about Dongcheng, a county close to Xuzhou, , but there is no way to directly occupy it, because the distance is too close, if the imperial court comes to attack, Liu Zheng will not be able to rush to help.

So just give up.

Now Liu Zheng was a little surprised when he heard Shangguan Yunmo say that Zhou Yu had gone to Dongcheng.

"Back to Your Majesty, mine"

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hide it."

"Your Majesty, General Zhou Yu had a dispute with someone, and he and General Sun Ce went to make an appointment with that person."

"what"

Liu Zheng was taken aback when he heard Shangguan Yunmo's words.

No wonder Shangguan Yunmo faltered and faltered in his speech, and he looked a little uneasy. It turned out that there was something hidden in it. Liu Zheng didn't care so much, and hurriedly asked Shangguan Yunmo the reason of the matter.

It turned out that during the period when Zhou Yu led people to station in Xuyi County, he often took soldiers and horses to train on Hongze Lake.

However, the number of people is not large, and each time only more than two thousand people are taken out to practice on Hongze Lake. If there are too many people, they will naturally meet some other forces on Hongze Lake.

That time, Zhou Yu and others were practicing on Hongze Lake, but they ran into another group of people. Those people only regarded Zhou Yu and others as water thieves in Hongze Lake, and the two sides went to war without saying a word.

As a result, Zhou Yu directly defeated these troops because of the superiority in numbers and Zhou Yu's good scheduling.

However, those who fought with Zhou Yu were not convinced, and they agreed to come to Hongze Lake to fight again in a few days.

The young and vigorous Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were about to train soldiers, but they didn't have a place yet, so how could they refuse, so they agreed directly.

Today, it happened to be the appointed day.

It's just that this kind of competition with others in private is strictly prohibited in Liu Zheng's army. After all, troops can't be sent at will. If something happens, lieutenants like Shangguan Yunmo can't afford it.

So Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also went secretly.

Liu Zheng was really worried about Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. After listening to Shangguan Yunmo's description, he was so worried that he couldn't sit still. He immediately asked Shangguan Yunmo to take him to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to make an appointment. The place.

Xuyi County is not far from Dongcheng.

The place Zhou Yu agreed with others, although it belongs to Dongcheng, is also near Hongze Lake. Shangguan Yunmo did not dare to refuse according to Liu Zheng's instructions, and led Liu Zheng and a group of Jinyi guards to go straight to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. A place to meet people.

When Liu Zheng arrived at the agreed place, he happened to see two groups of people fighting in the distance.

Zhou Yu sits on one side and uses the command flag to command the people to charge forward immediately. The left and right flanks total less than 2000 troops. Under Zhou Yu's command and dispatch, they are orderly and orderly.

And the opponent, although there are more than [-] people, but the equipment and the like are not as sophisticated as Zhou Yu's side, but they are still well-trained. military look.

The attack from both sides seemed to last for a while. Zhou Yu had some upper hand, but he also seemed to be in trouble. Some people were surrounded in the middle, and the opponent was trying to use the troops on the left and right sides to encircle in reverse.

Chapter 762 Friend Lu Su

Zhou Yu followed Liu Zheng for a long time, and he also studied in the military academy for several years.

I have accumulated a lot of experience, especially Zhou Yu, who is born smart, and did not panic after encountering this kind of problem.

The opponent wanted to attack from both sides, but Zhou Yu deliberately concentrated his forces in the center.

When the opponent's troops moved to the two sides, Zhou Yu immediately ordered his soldiers to charge directly. Under the dispatch of his powerful commanding ability, when the middle man already occupied the majority, Zhou Yu's soldiers instantly charged. Shock forward.

The army in the middle was the army led by Sun Ce. With Sun Ce as the main general, he charged into the formation and took the lead in rushing up. He immediately dispersed the frontmost army of the enemy army and forced them directly to the opponent's camp.

A confrontation, under such an impact, tilted to Zhou Yu's side, and it didn't take long for the flag to die down. With Zhou Yu's extraordinary skills, he won the victory.

Although it was a confrontation, the two sides did not kill. They were all for the purpose of training soldiers and horses. Even the weapons were wooden sticks. From this point of view, this is not a normal life-and-death fight.

After Liu Zheng saw this from the side, he felt a little relieved.

Liu Zheng didn't dare to walk over until the battle was over.

"Stinky boy, I asked you to train soldiers here, but you actually came here to make an appointment with someone?"

As soon as Liu Zheng came to Zhou Yu's side, he immediately yelled at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was happy because he had just won the training with his opponent, but suddenly heard Liu Zheng's voice.

The frightened face is all wrong.

"Master"

Zhou Yu looked at Liu Zheng in panic.

Although Liu Zheng was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhou Yu, he led people and defeated his opponent without embarrassing him. Liu Zheng did not punish Zhou Yu, but only punished him a few words.

Tell him not to be so self-assertive next time, if he meets a real enemy, it will be bad.

"Zhou Yu, you are brave enough to leave the garrison area without permission. Do you know who will be responsible if something happens?"

Zhou Yu stuck out his tongue at Liu Zheng, then cleverly walked to Liu Zheng's side, pressed Liu Zheng's shoulder, and talked to Liu Zheng in a coquettish tone.

"Master, I just brought 2000 troops to Hongze Lake to train troops. It's not considered leaving the garrison site. Besides, aren't Shangguan Yunmo and the others still stationed in Xuyi County? Nothing will happen. If something happens, our 2000 troops here can still be used as surprise soldiers to support."

Zhou Yu knew that Liu Zheng was soft but not hard, so he told Liu Zheng in such a tone that Liu Zheng would not really blame him.

Seeing Zhou Yu like this, Liu Zheng also smiled and sighed.

"Okay, okay, I really can't do anything about you, you have your reasons for everything, you are amazing, if you don't play tricks with you, who is the person who fought you just now?"

At this moment, Liu Zheng didn't really want to pursue Zhou Yu's responsibility, but was just curious about who Zhou Yu and Sun Ce came to meet here at Hongze Lake.

Under Liu Zheng's questioning, Zhou Yu naturally didn't dare to hide anything, and immediately told Liu Zheng why he came here.

"Master, that man's name is Lu Su. I met a few days ago when I was training soldiers on Hongze Lake. At first they thought we were water thieves on Hongze Lake and fought with us."

"However, after we explained it clearly, we became friends, and because we lost to me and were not convinced, we agreed to fight with me again, so we have today's contest. We didn't really fight, but for For military training, the weapons we use are all wooden sticks."

Zhou Yu also deliberately asked the people around him to show their weapons. Originally, everyone was equipped with spears, but at this time, they were all using wooden sticks. It was not a serious battle at first glance.

In fact, Liu Zheng has already seen this point. If he hadn't seen that both sides had no weapons, Liu Zheng wouldn't be so casual.

It is precisely because Liu Zheng knew that Zhou Yu and his opponent were not fighting for life and death, but training soldiers, so Liu Zheng did not blame Zhou Yu.

However, when Liu Zheng heard the word Lu Su from Zhou Yu's mouth, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was a little surprised.

"Who are you calling Lu Su?"

Liu Zheng thought he didn't hear clearly, so he affirmed Zhou Yu again.

"Yes, he said his name is Lu Su."

"Lu Su, you know each other"

Liu Zheng stared at Zhou Yu. The wheels of history are always similar. If Liu Zheng remembered correctly, Zhou Yu and Lu Su were very good friends in history.

It was Zhou Yu who was the head of the nest near Huainan, and when he heard of Lu Su's name, he brought hundreds of people to visit and asked him to donate some food.At that time, Lu Su's family had two large round granaries, each of which contained three thousand dendrobium rice. Zhou Yu had just asked to lend grain, and without hesitation, Lu Su pointed to one of the granaries and gave it to him as a gift.

After this incident, Zhou Yu was convinced that Lu Su was a different person, and took the initiative to make friends with him. The two established an unbreakable friendship like Gongsun Qiao and Ji Zha in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Although history has long been different because of Liu Zheng's appearance, the wheel of history still brings these two people who have fetters together.

Lu Su, this person, surprised Liu Zheng.

That's because Lu Su can definitely be counted as a person with great influence in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
