I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 496, Difficult Paper Currency Reform
The third year of Xingping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (196 A.D.) was considered a good year. The world, which had been plagued by disasters for three consecutive years, unexpectedly had a rare scene of good weather this year!It's not that the weather is good in one place, but the scene of good weather in the whole Dahan area!In such a chaotic world, it is really rare!

Jingzhou, South County!
Liu Bei took a group of confidants to inspect the early rice this year, and saw the sound of the wind blowing the rice waves, the rice was green, but the grains were full, obviously this is already a bumper harvest!

Liu Bei said happily: "The world has suffered three years of disasters, and this year will finally have a bumper harvest, and the people in the world can breathe a sigh of relief!"

The recent period of time has been considered a torment for Liu Bei. Hundreds of thousands of troops have been captured, and a large number of confidant generals have been arrested. It can be said that Liu Bei's ten-year accumulation is not destroyed, but his vitality is also severely damaged.If he hadn't traded prisoners of war with Xu Wei later and redeemed all his confidant generals like Guan Yu, Liu Bei wouldn't even know how to face old brothers like Zhang Fei!

But because the family members of hundreds of thousands of captives have to be traded, it also seriously affects the development of Jingzhou. You must know that he has been promoting Jingzhou reclamation since he came to Jingzhou, and he has only recruited three to four million refugees in ten years. Twenty percent of the common people, if not for Xu Wei who also traded hundreds of thousands of noble families to Jingzhou, many towns in Jingzhou would be empty.

Hundreds of thousands of people from the elite clan came here, and Liu Bei placed them in the territory of the people who had migrated away. At the same time, he recruited some barbarians in Jingzhou to make up the population. It caused Liu Bei a lot of headaches, and he had to ask Yuan Ji to patrol around Jingzhou frequently to deal with these contradictions!
At the same time, the currency reform was not going well. Although Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping produced banknotes, both the aristocrats and the common people were used to using copper coins, and no one was uneasy about the issued banknotes.Therefore, the promotion of banknotes in the four states of the Han Dynasty was very difficult. No matter whether it was the common people or the nobles, people resisted the use of banknotes!

However, the Central Plains War greatly damaged Liu Bei's strength. Whether it was casting cannons or recruiting new soldiers, building equipment required a lot of money, so Liu Bei could only be tough in the four states of the Han Dynasty, and promoted banknotes in exchange for silk, grain and salt.

Although there is collateral, Liu Bei's forced issuance of banknotes has also caused Jingzhou's prices to continue to rise. As a result, people's grievances arose everywhere. Liu Bei, who was originally well-known in the south, began to harass treacherous officials like Dong Zhuo, who have ruined the country and the people. .

In order to stabilize prices and reduce the losses of ordinary people, Liu Bei had to learn from Xu Wei to issue bonds, and he began to force bonds to be issued among the powerful families in the four southern states.

Among them, Nanyang County is the emperor's hometown, an area that Liu Bei focuses on. There are not only many clansmen of the Han Dynasty, but also many descendants and heroes of the founding of the country. It can be said that Nanyang's wealth is not inferior to that of Jizhou, even if it is only one county in Nanyang now There are also more than 200 million common people, from which we can see how rich Nanyang is.

Of course, it is also the place where the people of the Han Dynasty are oppressed the most. In addition to Jizhou, Nanyang County had the largest number of Yellow Turban uprising troops, and the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang County was also the most capable of fighting. The two sides fought to death several Yellow Turban Army commanders and Nanyang County. Still fighting to the death, in the end it was Zhu Jun who led the central army to assist Nanyang's powerful forces to pacify Nanyang County!
Liu Bei became the shepherd of Jingzhou, but he was still very troubled by the many founding heroes and queens in Nanyang. After all, they were not convinced by Liu Biao in history, so that Liu Biao set his government in Jiangling, let alone Liu Bei, a down-and-out family. At best, Liu Bei could only move the hooligans from Nanyang County to Nanjun County for reclamation, or wait until the imperial court moved to Xiangyang City, and Liu Bei could barely deter the founding heroes of Nanyang County with the help of the emperor's prestige!
After the defeat of the Central Plains this time, Liu Bei couldn't be more scruples in order to restore his strength. Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan to lead a battalion each to Wubao, the founding hero of Nanyang County, and forced each of them to A bond of [-] million yuan was apportioned!

The families who dared to resist were directly blown away by Zhang Fei and the others with their explosives!Snatched all the property in Wubao!Then Zhang Fei and the others left them a bond!
Originally, Liu Bei's doing this kind of thing was enough to make the world's nobles scream and kill, but now with Xu Wei's rebellion as the bottom line, the world's nobles can also understand Liu Bei's desire to deal with Lei Gong, and they don't think Liu Bei did it. Things go too far.

In the troubled times before, they could shop around and find a lord who was good to them to take refuge in. Therefore, the tyrants who wanted to seize the world not only did not dare to mess with their families, but also offered good conditions to attract them to take refuge.

But now Lei Gong, the most powerful vassal, doesn't want them to take refuge at all, and even yells at them to kill them. The entire Hebei clan has disappeared (the land is gone, the disciples are gone, and even the rights are gone. , in the eyes of the aristocrats in the middle of the Han Dynasty, the aristocrats in Hebei will disappear in smoke!).

As a result, all the nobles and nobles in the world lost their bargaining conditions. They don't want Liu Bei, so why don't they turn to Lei Gong and let Lei Gong kill them all!The nobles in the world have no choice but to choose Liu Bei!
So the clansmen of the Han Dynasty and the founding heroes of Nanyang County became the objects of everyone's pointing!
The imperial court only wants you [-] million yuan, but neither your land nor your life. As a clan member of the Han family and a hero who founded the country, he has enjoyed the glory and wealth of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. How can he be so ignorant of the general situation? !
Liu Bei only wants [-] million yuan from you, but what Lei Gong wants is your life!

What can these founding heroes do?
They can't fight again, and the pressure of public opinion is pointing at them again. These founding heroes can only lie flat, and take the initiative to subscribe to a bond of [-] million yuan from Liu Bei!

What the nobles didn't expect was that Liu Bei killed the monkeys to make an example of the chickens. After Nanyang's founding heroes apportioned billions of dollars in bonds, Liu Bei began to point the finger at them!

Now the founding heroes of Nanyang County laughed, and asked the nobles and nobles from other parts of the Han Dynasty to understand the difficulties of the court. You powerful and powerful gentry, who have enjoyed the glory and wealth of the Great Han for hundreds of years, how can you be so ignorant!You can't die by buying some bonds, not to mention they still have to be paid back!
Faced with such a situation, the wealthy and powerful gentry could only stand at attention and be beaten.

The top aristocratic families like Yang Biao, Zhang Wen, and Zhen Ju each took the initiative to subscribe for [-] million yuan in bonds, and the local tyrants in Jingzhou, Cai, Zhang, Huang, Kuai, Wang and other families also subscribed for [-] yuan each. Bonds ranging from tens of thousands to tens of millions, and small and powerful families like Deng, Jin, Yi, and Fu also apportioned bonds ranging from tens of millions of dollars!
