Chapter 129

Shen Chong Qian, as the name suggests, is the money made by Shen Chong, the grandfather of Shen Police, who was determined not to betray Wang Dun.

Don't underestimate Shen Chongqian, Wu Xing's Shen family is a famous aborigines in the south of the Yangtze River, with a mountain of money and servants everywhere.

The financial resources of the orthodox Dajin court may not be comparable to that of the Shen family.At that time, it had not been a few years since Da Jin had established himself in Jiang Zuo.

The most obvious proof is minting money.

Although the old Sima family fled all the way from the north to the south, which was rather embarrassing and disgraceful, it could be regarded as a new imperial court, which needs to be commemorated.

How to commemorate?

The general operation is to issue new money and tell the people in the territory that now the owner of this place has been replaced, and it is my old Sima family who has the final say.

This is also the best opportunity to demonstrate the strength of the new dynasty.

Because casting new money requires a lot of copper, and copper was an expensive metal in ancient times, mining and casting required a huge amount of money.

The larger the scale of minting new money and the better the quality of the new money minted, the more it can prove that this new dynasty has strong financial resources.

However, when the job of minting new money fell on the shoulders of the old Sima family... just...

Eh!
Indescribable!

After the Sima family established a foothold in Jiang Zuo, they immediately announced that the coins minted by various dynasties in the past, including the five baht coins of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, could be circulated in our Dajin territory, and the old Sima family would never care.

and then?
There's no after that.

It was really difficult for the old Sima family to make new money. After the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, for a hundred years, the most widely circulated money in China was still the five baht money made during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spared no effort in looting money, the national power of the Han Dynasty also reached its peak during his reign.

So much so that the five baht coins cast by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were elegant in shape, unified in regulation, and the quality of copper materials was good. Hard currency with strong purchasing power.

In this historical background, when the brain-dead Wang Dun was in trouble, his staff, Shen Chong, also mined copper materials and minted new money in order to expand the military for Jingzhou.

To say that this disaster was caused by the Sima family at the beginning.In order to appease Wang Dun, the court specially rewarded Wang Dun with several money-casting furnaces, tacitly accepting that he would be the emperor in Jingzhou.

Shen Chong made full use of the money casting furnace, opened a workshop in Jingzhou, and desperately cast money. The coins minted were actually named after him, and Shen Chongqian became popular in Dajin.

The development of commerce has made the circulation of coins in Dajin increasingly tight. People need more currency, and it is impossible to expect the Dajin court to make money by itself. The emperors of the Sima family are all lovers of lying flat.

One person is full, and the whole family is not worried.

How can there be energy to manage the lives of the people on the market.

Therefore, the quality of the private money minted by Shen Chong is also good, and it is allowed to be widely used as one of the circulating currencies.

Huan Chong couldn't possibly not understand the meaning behind the coinage act, but he didn't care, Xie Xuan suddenly became vigilant.

For the Dajin court, the old problem resurfaced. Compared with the strong Di Qin, the civil strife of the Jingzhou soldiers gave them more headaches.

Could it be that Xie Xuan actually saw the wrong person, and Huan Chong still couldn't escape the curse of the Huan family and stepped on the old path of Huan Wen usurping the throne?

Wang Mi's heart raised in his throat. The act of casting money was too sensitive. Ever since he mentioned this, the atmosphere in the hall was no different from the storm outside the window.

That is the brewing before the dark.

The stalemate continued, and the atmosphere became cooler and cooler. Wang Mi felt that it was time for him to step out and maintain order.

He rolled his eyes and immediately found someone who could break the deadlock.

"Captain Jiang, how is the situation outside?"

"Are there really troubled people?"

In any case, it is true that this is confirmed first. This old man Huan Chong is a big mouth, in case he is talking nonsense.

Captain Jiang's face stiffened, as if he was facing a great enemy.

Secretary Wang, what are you doing?
Don't hurt me!
The eyes of the two met, Wang Mi was looking at him with a very kind and kind look, and at this time Xie Xuan also noticed this problem.

After asking a question, Team Leader Jiang had no choice but to dawdle a few steps and tell the truth.

"Thank you, General, not only are there troubles, but there are quite a few."

"General Liu Chun is already dealing with the trouble outside. Perhaps, the villagers will disperse after a while."

Wang Mi felt that when the leader of Jiang said these words, his back molars were clenched, and the expression on his face seemed to be eating shit.

Xie Xuan was shocked and stood up: "Dispersed?"

"how can that be!"

He looked up at the sky, the storm was still continuing, and there was no sign of abating. Under such bad weather, how could the people who persisted in making trouble could go home honestly.

Xie Xuan has a brain in this matter.

"lead the way!"

"I gonna go see!"

Xie Xuan is not convinced, Huanchong can solve things that a fool can solve, but can Xie Xuan, who is resourceful, solve it?
He strode away, and has always been in a high position, pointing out that Xie Youdu, a son of the top family in Jiangshan, is about to start his first life.

For the first time facing the anger of ordinary people!

The confused old man, Huan Chong, followed Xie Xuan and the others, and walked out swaggeringly. Although the rain was urgent, it could not wipe out his determination to eat melons and watch the show.

"Youdu this time... tsk tsk... a little dangling."

"Why did General Huan say this?"

Huan Chong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Wang Mi, who had always belonged to Xie Xuan's dog-leg, actually came to his side at this time.

What is this for?
unusual!
However, young people are willing to ask him for advice, and Huan Chong is very welcome.

He pouted and said with a sneer, "Just think about it, now that there is such a shortage of food, it is absolutely impossible for Youdu to let go of this batch of food."

"However, these grains that Liu Chun looted are obviously already the rations for the people of the garrison."

"Now they have been robbed by Liu Chun. If the people can accept their fate, they don't have to live."

"Xie Youdu asked Liu Chun to go out to grab food under the banner of my Jingzhou soldier. What he did is really immoral, but now that there is trouble, it is impossible for him to push me out to solve it."

"In the end, he has to face it himself, even though Xie Youdu has been in the army for many years, but the old man dares to conclude that he has never directly contacted the people in the village."

Huan Chong stroked his beard with confidence, and Wang Mi looked at him quite proud.

"This time, it can be considered to give him a lot of insight. If he wants to be a powerful minister, he is still far from it."

Wang Mi didn't answer. After many days in Yuanjiang Shu, he felt for the first time that there were times when this useless general had no courage.
