Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 622
In order to handle this matter, Yuan Shao had no choice but to find someone who was best at it.

Guo Jia.

When he arrived at Shangshutai, Guo Jia was busy reviewing reports from various places. There were so many reports piled up like a mountain. After the implementation of the Human Dating Policy, all the lists of duty-free girls and the need for relief from various places were gathered. In this small Shangshutai, when Yuan Shao arrived, Guo Jia didn't even have time to raise his head, Guo Jia was holding a report in one hand and a pen and ink in the other.

With both eyes fixed on the report, he browsed quickly, and one hand was constantly recording. He kept picking up new reports, and the speed of his hand was still enough to record them. Yuan Shao was stunned. Guo Jia recorded the report. The time it took for the newspaper was actually faster than his fastest reading speed. Yuan Shao watched him for a long time, but was really frightened by his amazing speed. After a long time, he slowed down and waited for Guo Jia to be busy. over.

After a long time, Guo Jia was still busy.

Yuan Shao felt helpless, walked up to an official, and asked in a low voice, "How long will Feng Xiao be busy?"

"Back to Sikong, Shang Shuling is probably going to stay up all night." The official said with some fear, Yuan Shao sighed helplessly, it seems that Guo Jia can't help him here for the time being, so he can only do it himself, but this big man He has never implemented the strategy, if it is messed up, what will happen, damn Liu Zichu, Yuan Shao cursed in his heart, and left Shangshutai helplessly.

After returning to Sikong Mansion, he immediately summoned his men.

Since others can't count on it, he can only do it by himself, no matter what, even if there is a problem, he can handle it by himself. When Yuan Shao has an idea, he no longer worries, and directly appoints a manpower to clean up the mansion. The people inside were sent to the four directions to investigate the local situation along the way. This was to prepare for the unification of prices, while the rest were sent to chat with merchants from all over the place and buy their properties. Then the temple will take care of it.

As for these merchants, we can't cut off their roads, let them go to Ningzhou and Xizhou to deal with foreign countries!
After Yuan Shao ordered everything, he rushed directly to Jiang Zuo's mansion, and brought out Ma Jun who was busy. When he talked about the coin casting, Ma Jun asked with some doubts: "Sikong wants to recycle copper coins. Re-minting coins, or increasing the circulation directly??" Yuan Shao frowned, and said, "I don't know about these things, but Mr. Ma is Wen Rengong's disciple, so what's your opinion?"

"In my opinion, the people are used to five baht coins. If they are issued again, the copper content will be insufficient, which will cause the market to collapse. If the copper content is too high, it will hinder the casting. Five baht coins are just right, so there is no need to modify them. Increase the circulation, mint more coins, and distribute them all over the world!" Ma Jun said seriously, Yuan Shao nodded, and said: "Then call the craftsmen, and you will be in charge of this and do the casting."

"Sikong, how much should you cast?"

"Cast a billion dollars!"

"Is this a bit too much??"

"The country's copper reserves are sufficient, you just do it! I'll do it myself!"

Yuan Shao ordered, but Ma Jun could only nod his head to accept.

While casting coins, on the other hand, Yuan Shao used his family's mighty influence to contact many great merchants in the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shao intentionally took these people into his own account, and managed the public sale system as officials. It immediately became the property of the country. Although it is a bit unfair to them, it also has the function of shelter. It is already the greatest benefit to be able to become a scholar from a low-level merchant.

What's more, they can still escape from their powerful status and move towards the aristocratic family. With the shelter of the temple, many things are more convenient. As for the loss, there is no way. They are the merchants with the lowest status in the big man. Especially in the face of such a behemoth as the Yuan family, they have no intention of opposing. They are not afraid of the emperor, and the emperor will not punish them for no reason, but they are afraid of the Yuan family! !
This behemoth, if you want to get rid of several of their merchants, it's easy.

Yuan Shao also didn't trust them very much. In order to supervise them, Yuan Shao appointed a person as a false servant of the Sikong Mansion, a forty-year-old official, who was responsible for monitoring the behavior of merchants and the collusion between officials and merchants. It is Situ Cao Cao's fourth son, Cao Zhi, who held such an important position when Cao Zhi was weak, especially when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were at odds, which stunned all officials.

The same is true for Cao Cao. When Yuan Shao arrived at Cao Cao's mansion and hoped that his four sons would become officials and help him, Cao Cao was also stunned, his eyes widened, and looking at Yuan Shao, he had some doubts. The demon pretended to be a demon, so Cao Cao asked with some vigilance: "Why were we hunted down by the county magistrate when we were young?" Yuan Shao had no choice but to reply: "Snatch his daughter-in-law."

Only then did Cao Cao confirm that the person in front of him was indeed his friend Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao said: "I need a young man with a clean background, who has never been an official, and is intelligent, so that he can be better trained. This position has just been established. I have no idea how to implement the policy. Young people are the best. I originally wanted to use My Erlang, but...forget it, forget it, I have heard that your Shiro is smart, so I will lend it to me. If the policy is successful, you don’t have to worry about his future. If it fails, I will support you, and you don’t have to worry about it he."

Cao Cao thought for a long time before calling Cao Zhi over.

"Zijian, hurry up and meet your Uncle Yuan!"

Cao Zhi was taken aback, and hurried to see him. Yuan Shao looked at him, saw that his eyes were bright, and he didn't have any fear when facing him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take it away!", After finishing speaking , pulled Cao Zhi and was about to leave, Cao Cao jumped up quickly, stood in front of him, and said, "If you want to use him, I don't care, but he has to agree before you can take him away!"

Yuan Shao said with some disdain: "This Cao family, you can't be the master??"

"Hahaha, I'm different from the original one. My son-in-law has made his own decisions since he was a child. I never interfere. That's exactly the case. All the son-in-laws in my family have talents." Cao Cao said proudly, Yuan Shao Then he looked at Cao Zhi and asked, "Your name is Zijian?? Zijian, would you like to follow me and do great things!"

"What a big deal?"

"A major event for the country and the people."

"it is good."

Yuan Shao nodded, very satisfied with Cao Zhi's answer, pulled Cao Zhi and left here. Cao Cao watched Yuan Shao take his son away in a daze, and shook his head helplessly. This fellow is driven crazy, do I want to report to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to send him some people? ?
Yuan Shao led Cao Zhi out of the mansion, along the way, he was not idle, and he kept ordering many important things.

"You have to know that I didn't bring you here because of your qualifications. You have to do it wholeheartedly. Even if you don't think about yourself, don't embarrass me, don't embarrass your father. You can have Forty small officials, I haven't looked for them yet, you have to look for them yourself, you can go to Situ, you can also go to Shang Shuling, you can go to anyone except Your Majesty, I'll give you two days , must be found for me!!"

"Your responsibility is very heavy. During this period of time, I have been contacting merchants from all over the country and buying their properties. However, the prices have not yet been unified, and sales cannot be carried out. When the prices were unified, many officials colluded with merchants. , have been discovered by me, and I beheaded them all, but in the face of huge profits, the merchants contacted them regardless of the cost. You are the son of Situ and an official of my Sikong mansion. Your brother is still in the East Palace. If people dare to make things difficult for you, you just go and catch them!!”

"If you meet someone powerful, don't come to me. You can go to General Zhijinwu Lu, you can go to the Crown Prince of the East Palace, you can go to the officials of Yushitai, if you are outside the city, go directly to Hua Xiong, and, If you go to other places, you can find the prefect surnamed Yuan."

"I found you because I saw you were young. You have to be courageous and don't be afraid. We have people like us to support you!"

As Yuan Shao said, before he knew it, he had already rushed to the mansion. Yuan Shao hurriedly introduced Cao Zhi to many officials, and asked Cao Zhi to find people quickly. The Sikong Mansion could give him three people. Cao Zhi seemed a little excited, he Maybe he didn't expect that he would assume such an important position when he became an official for the first time. After bidding farewell to Yuan Shao, he immediately went to find someone to help him. Naturally, he would go to Situ's mansion first, and find his father when he was in doubt.

When they met in Situ's mansion, the two were no longer father and son.

"The minister, Sikong, is following the order Cao Zhi to pay a visit to Mr. Situ. He came here this time because there is a vacancy under his command, so he came to see Mr. Situ!"

"Yes, I see. You can go to Chief Shi Zhugejin, and he will help you."

After Liu Ba entered Jimintai, the tense atmosphere in the temple eased. The main reason was that Liu Ba took Rending Dace from Guo Jia. Guo Jia had no intention of objecting when he came to carry it out. He was about to be exhausted and killed by these things. After the matter was resolved, he took over the matter of the family's review from Cao Cao, and Cao Cao didn't rush to think about it. He also helped Yuan Shao share some of the next government order.

The officials of the East Palace, Fazheng and Pang Tong, returned to Luoyang ahead of schedule, and immediately went to help Sikong and Yuan Shao according to the prince's order, and began to issue coins.

Even so, Yuan Shao is very busy, and there is no day when he can relax.

Until the end of the Xiping period, Yuan Shao began to issue coins on a large scale. The issuance of coins was mainly issued through the salary and the Jimin government. So much money suddenly appeared in the treasury, which made Yuan Shao a little confused. He didn't know , What will happen if such a large amount of money flows into the world, but he has no fear in his heart. If he fails, he will go to jail and bear everything!
During this period, another major event happened.

The jailer in Tingwei's prison impeached Tingwei Huang Wan in his real name. He said that when he was in Tingwei's prison, he saw many merchants bribing officials, and some even directly bribed Tingwei Huang Wan in order to escape. He recommended Tingwei Wei Huangwan took bribes and released the criminals, which naturally caused quite a commotion. You must know that Huang Wan is a famous minister in the court and a famous person in the world. How could such behavior be done by him?
Zhang Fei, Zhang He, and even Hua Xiong all participated in the investigation of this matter.

After investigation, they found that the officials in Tingweili had indeed accepted bribes, and there were indeed cases of criminals fleeing. However, Huang Wan denied that he had accepted bribes, expressing that he had no knowledge of the matter. As a result, in the courtyard outside Huang Wan's city There, a huge amount of coins were found, and with the stolen goods, Huang Wan went to jail directly.

Huang Wan couldn't justify herself, so she stayed in the prison and shed tears all day long.

"Huang Tingwei, are you okay?"

Huang Wan was staying in the prison, and a young man was standing outside the prison, it is unknown when he appeared.

Huang Wan looked at him blankly and asked, "Do I recognize you?"

"I'm going to Fazheng. You may have forgotten me, but I still remember the insult you gave me."

"You!! It's you!!! You planted me!!!" Huang Wan pointed at the young man in front of her, trembling all over.

"Hehe, framed?? Mr. Huang has all the stolen goods, why talk about framed?"

"Are you helping to mint money?? Yes, it's the money you made." Huang Wan finally understood.

Looking at the tired and inhuman old man in front of him, Fazheng shook his head pityingly, and said, "Mr. Huang, don't try to make excuses anymore... I said I would kill you all over the house, and I will definitely kill you all over the house." , Of course, if you apologize to me, commit suicide, and die, I will spare your family. What do you think?"

"I will never bow to a vicious person like you!!!"

"That's such a pity. Those grandchildren of yours are about to pass away before they are ten years old. Sigh." Fazheng shook his head, turned around and was about to leave. Huang Wan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly Roared: "Fazheng!!!!!!"

"Oh? How about Mr. Huang??"

A line of tears flowed from Huang Wan's eyes, and he swooped in to salute Fazheng.

A smile appeared on the corner of Fazheng's mouth again.

In the 21st year of Xiping, at the end of the year, Ting Wei Huang Wan accepted bribes and released criminals. He committed a heinous crime and committed suicide in prison.

The emperor was furious and punished his family, leaving no one behind.
