Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Zhen Yan looked serious and said, "My next suggestion is to ask my lord to issue coins belonging to Jizhou in Jizhou."

Wang Lei was startled suddenly, issuing coins belonging to Jizhou?This is a matter of risking the disgrace of the world.Making money is the right of the imperial court, but Zhen Yan said it directly, which is really audacious.Wang Lei quickly adjusted his mood, calmed himself down, and re-examined Zhen Yan in front of him.This man who started his career as a businessman is really courageous.

Wang Lei calmed down and said, "Tell me your reason!"

"promise!"

Zhen Yan respectfully responded, but her heart was already faintly excited.

opportunity!

This is his chance to fight for his rights!

Compared with Du Ji, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, etc., Zhen Yan has no talent to act as an agent of internal affairs, let alone the ability to plan strategies; In contrast, Zhen Yan does not have the peerless martial arts skills to charge and attack on the battlefield, nor does he have the ability to sit in the army tent and dispatch troops.

However, compared with the civilian and military generals under Wang Lei, he is just a businessman.

Even if no one despises him, Zhen Yan is not reconciled.

The Zhen family has already been tied to Wang Lei's chariot, if he stays where he is, then the Zhen family is just a businessman who has sponsored Wang Lei.As the power in Wang Lei's hands increased, the role of the Zhen family became smaller and smaller.Zhen Yan is not stupid, on the contrary, Zhen Yan can become a famous businessman in Jizhou, and even run rampant in Zhongshan country, with considerable means.

Zhen Yan is very clear about her strengths.

business!make money!

This is his strength.

However, Wang Lei is the lord of a state and has no shortage of money.Under such circumstances, Zhen Yan not only needs to be able to make money for Wang Lei, but also to do things that are useful to Wang Lei, firmly obtain benefits for the Zhen family, and firmly gain Wang Lei's trust.

The opportunity is in front of him, and Zhen Yan must grasp it.

Zhen Yan said slowly: "My lord, Jizhou is located in the north, close to the frontier fortress. Because of its special location, there are many people engaged in business. Whether it is selling silk or horses, the business is very prosperous."

"However, no matter how prosperous Jizhou's business is, the control is not in the hands of the lord."

"Once the world's coins change, Jizhou's business will be fatally affected immediately. For example, when Dong Zhuo was in power, Dong Zhuo took back the original five baht coins and recast copper coins. In an instant, the value of a copper coin , changed immediately, and the things bought by the same copper coin also changed accordingly.”

"Jizhou's business was immediately impacted."

"In order to ensure the balance of Jizhou, and even to let the business of Jizhou affect the situation of all states in the world, the only way is to cast copper coins belonging to Jizhou. The business of Jizhou is prosperous. Once the copper coins of Jizhou are circulated, once the rest of the states use the copper coins of Jizhou, then, Jizhou will firmly grasp the initiative, which will be of great help to the master's hegemony."

Zhen Yan's idea is not without boldness.

Jizhou's recasting of copper coins is definitely an enemy of the imperial court.But the benefits mentioned by Zhen Yan also moved Wang Lei's heart.

"Come on!"

Wang Lei pondered for a moment, and ordered.

"What are your orders, my lord?" Zhou Tai walked in, clasping his fists.

Wang Lei ordered: "Immediately invite Jia Xu and Guo Jia to come to the study to discuss matters."

"promise!"

Zhou Tai turned to deliver the order, and Wang Lei looked at Zhen Yan and said, "The suggestion is very good, but it is very difficult to implement. Although the emperor is a puppet, the emperor is still alive and the big man is still there. Once Jizhou Casting copper coins privately will have a great impact."

Zhen Yan thought for a while, and then said: "My lord, do you know what is the result of the change of copper coins from time to time? The copper coins are constantly changing, and the people don't trust copper coins. Many people don't use copper coins, but barter for things."

Wang Lei frowned and said, "People don't use money to shop, but barter. It's impossible."

Zhen Yan said: "Returning to my lord, this is an indisputable fact. When bulky goods and certain items need to be purchased, they are indeed purchased with coins. But in the market, many people do not think that coins are reliable, and prefer to buy goods with goods." Barter. In fact, it is good to buy with coins, but the people are worried that suddenly one day, the previous copper coins can no longer be used, and they will die!"

"Makes sense!"

After Wang Lei heard this, his expression became more serious.

For business to truly flourish, bartering is absolutely unacceptable.

Barter is the most primitive means of exchange.

The two chatted for a short time, and Guo Jia and Jia Xu came to the study together.After the two saluted and sat down, Guo Jia said, "My lord is in a hurry to find us, what's the matter?"

Wang Lei turned his eyes, looked at Zhen Yan, and signaled Zhen Yan to say.

Zhen Yan organized his speech and said: "Mr. Guo, Mr. Jia, the thing is like this. In view of the frequent replacement of copper coins, once the copper coins change, it will have an impact on Jizhou's business. I suggest that the master mint Jizhou coins to stabilize Jizhou. Commerce. Further, use the commerce of Jizhou and the copper coins circulated in Jizhou to affect the situation in the world.”

After hearing this, Jia Xu looked at Zhen Yan in surprise.

In the past, Zhen Yan was cautious in doing things.From this point of view, he is a bold person.

It is not easy to make such a suggestion!

Guo Jia thought about the feasibility of Zhen Yan's suggestion, and after a while, he said: "There are benefits brought by recasting copper coins, but they are too vague. On the contrary, I can clearly see the disadvantages of recasting copper coins. The copper coins are bound to be criticized by the people of the world. The example of Yuan Shaozhong’s betrayal will soon be repeated. When the time comes, the Lord will be criticized by the people of the world, and the popularity accumulated before will also be destroyed.”

There was deep worry in his tone.

Zhen Yan naturally knew the risks brought by the recasting of copper coins, but he was unwilling and immediately argued: "Military advisor, recasting copper coins will indeed have a huge impact and is risky. Once successful, the copper coins will definitely be used to affect the situation in the states. Compared with fighting head-on on the battlefield, I think it is feasible to win without fighting in business."

Jia Xu stroked his beard under his chin, and said, "It's very tempting, but it has great risks. For the sake of prudence, I agree with Feng Xiao's opinion. The risk of recasting copper coins is too great, it is tantamount to filling hunger with cakes. My lord has not yet achieved results." , may be killed."

Guo Jia and Jia Xu are already very important.

The two objected, which made Zhen Yan feel a strong sense of powerlessness.At this time, Zhen Yan could only look at Wang Lei, expecting Wang Lei to give an answer.

The eyes of Guo Jia and Jia Xu also fell on Wang Lei.

Wang Lei kept thinking in his mind that Zhen Yan's suggestion was quite valuable in Wang Lei's opinion.Using business to influence the situation in the rest of the states is a model of economic warfare, defeating each other economically.

"I think it can be operated!"

In the study, there was a loud thunder on the ground, Guo Jia and Jia Xu were startled at the same time.
