Agents of the Three Kingdoms

December [-], this day, is destined to leave a heavy stroke in the history of Jizhou.

Zhen Yan came to the state pastoral mansion excitedly, clutching the first printed paper money in her hand.For this piece of paper money, Zhen Yan and Wang Lei spent nearly half a year to achieve today's results.

In the study, Wang Lei stroked the paper money in his hand, looked it over carefully, and his eyes were full of satisfaction.

For this piece of paper money, Wang Lei, Zhen Yan and others have set up many anti-counterfeiting measures.Even, Wang Lei tried his best to construct a three-dimensional picture of the character 'Wang' in the pattern of paper money.

In addition to the word "king", there are many hidden means.

It can be said that countless efforts have been poured into it.

Wang Lei flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Order Guo Jia to summon all the members of Qilin Pavilion. At the same time, Xu You, Du Ji and others also informed that I will hold a meeting in the hall."

Zhen Yan hurriedly said: "My lord, I think that there is still one problem to be resolved, and it will not be too late to call again."

"What's the problem?" Wang Lei said.

Zhen Yan said: "How to circulate it, how to make the people believe it, how to let the hundred believers use it."

The three questions in a row were all Zhen Yan's worries.

Wang Lei smiled, waved his hand and said, "I already have mature ideas about these issues, so don't worry." After a pause, Wang Lei ordered: "Print another twenty paper money, I'll be useful."

Zhen Yan said respectfully: "No, I will print the paper money first, and then notify Guo Junshi and others."

After speaking, Zhen Yan turned and left the study.

Wang Lei returned to the room, changed into a black dress again, dressed in formal attire, went to the hall and sat down, waiting quietly.After a while, Zhen Yan returned to the hall, handed over a stack of paper money, and then sat down respectfully.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Jia Xu came to the hall wrapped in thick clothes.

After saluting, Jia Xu sat down respectfully.

After a while, Guo Jia came again.Successively, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Ju Shou, Du Ji, Xun Chen, Xu You and others walked in one by one, with deep curiosity in their eyes, wondering what Wang Lei was summoning for.

"Zhen Yan, send one to each person."

With Wang Lei's gesture, Zhen Yan immediately walked up, took the paper money on the desk, and handed out one by himself.

Holding the paper money, Du Ji asked with a puzzled expression, "Master, what is this?"

"money!"

Wang Lei smiled and replied.

Du Ji's hand holding the paper money trembled, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in disbelief, "My lord, this is not a joke. How can this strange piece of paper be money?"

Everyone in the hall showed puzzled expressions.

Wang Lei looked serious, and explained: "The paper with patterns and characters in your hands is indeed money. This is the paper money that I spent nearly half a year making. Next, such paper money will be issued and gradually replace the ones circulating on the market. Copper coins."

Speaking of this, Wang Lei said loudly: "Jizhou money will affect the whole world."

In his tone, he was full of heroism.

"Wow!!"

There was a commotion in the hall.

Du Ji, Tian Feng and other people who didn't know were all surprised.

Wang Lei added: "The purpose of bringing you together is to discuss paper money. In view of the frequent changes of copper coins, changes in the purchasing power of copper coins, and the inconvenience of carrying a large amount of copper coins. Jizhou will issue paper money, and paper money can be exchanged for copper coins and gold in equal amounts. Silver jewelry. In this way, it can be easily carried, and commercial trade is also easier."

Du Ji said: "The people don't believe it, what should we do?"

Wang Lei had been prepared for a long time, and replied unhurriedly: "In order to let the people use it, we adopted a two-pronged strategy. On the one hand, relying on the credit of the Jizhou government, issued a notice to inform the people in all counties and counties of Jizhou that they can rely on their hands. Copper money, go to the government to exchange for paper money to buy and sell."

"On the other hand, call the big merchants in Ye County and even Jizhou. No matter what kind of business they are doing, they are forced to use paper money for transactions. As long as the big merchants start using it, the small merchants below will have to use paper money when buying goods... from above Going down, one by one, the merchants at the bottom must also use paper money, and then the common people will start to use it."

Wang Lei said confidently: "Paper money is a very useful thing. People may resist it at first, but after tasting the benefits brought by paper money, they will definitely start using it."

Xu You said, "Master, I have a word!"

"Say!" Wang Lei said.

Xu You said in a deep voice: "Once money is involved, corrupt officials are likely to appear. Especially those who print paper money, it is even more critical. How to ensure that those who print paper money will not be corrupt and pervert the law. After he made it, if he secretly He took a stack back. So, he just took the money? Besides, if the paper money is printed endlessly, wouldn’t it lead to a flood of paper money? At that time, the credibility of the Jizhou government will definitely be affected. "

In the words, there is a deep worry.

Wang Lei smiled and said: "Ziyuan's suggestion is very good, but has corrupt officials been eradicated for thousands of years? It can't be eradicated. The only way is to prevent small things from happening and prevent problems during the manufacturing process. , The printing of paper money is not endless printing, how much must be measured. Otherwise, it will cause the harm caused by the continuous change of copper coins."

"If you have any comments, feel free to raise them here and speak freely." Wang Lei looked calm and was ready to answer.

Paper money must be launched.

If Jizhou is to be different from other states and develop better, it must reform.

Suddenly, Xun Chen asked: "My lord, how are the paper money made?"

Wang Lei replied: "This paper is the only paper that belongs to Jizhou. In the whole world, only Jizhou can make it. Only Jizhou can master these technologies."

Xun Chen asked: "Can this kind of paper be used for calligraphy and painting?"

Wang Lei shook his head and said, "Not for the time being! It takes half a year to make this kind of paper. The paper used for calligraphy and painting will have another kind of paper. Paper-making craftsmen are working hard to make paper for writing."

Xun Chen nodded and stopped talking.

Tian Feng said: "When does the Lord plan to release paper money?"

Wang Lei replied: "Just in the near future!"

Tian Feng said: "My lord, if you want to promote paper money, you must not be greedy for success, but must be steady and steady. I also think it is good about the lord's description. Jizhou has paper money instead of copper money, which is a good thing for Jizhou. Even, Jizhou and When the rest of the states conduct business, they also use paper money, which is also good for Jizhou."

Wang Lei smiled, but he didn't expect Tian Feng to support it.

As for Jia Xu and Ju Shou, they knew about it and did not express their opinions.

Everyone discussed about paper money, and at the end, Jia Xu suddenly asked: "My lord wants to issue paper money to replace copper money, who will be in charge of this?"

Wang Lei replied: "Zhen Yan is fully responsible and reports directly to me."

Jia Xu nodded and stopped talking.

The discussion was not long, and then it was over.However, Wang Lei rejected all opinions and demanded the full cooperation of officials from various departments in Jizhou.Even the salaries of officials will also change. Instead of distributing salaries and food, they will be directly distributed in the form of paper money, which will be purchased by officials themselves.

ps: The third change, continue to code words.
