Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Ye County, the gate of the east gate.

After a piece of notice was posted, countless people immediately watched it.

The yamen servant who posted the notice stood under the notice, pointed at the notice, and introduced loudly: "Starting today, Jizhou will issue paper money. What is paper money? The picture on the notice is very clear. The paper money launched. This paper money can be used together with copper money. If it is inconvenient to carry copper money, you can go to the government to exchange copper money for paper money.”

After the yamen servant finished speaking, he left soon.

The people watching the notice broke out, talking about the paper money on the notice.

"Personally, I think that the paper money introduced by the government is useless. I just have copper coins in my pocket, and copper money is safe. As for the paper money issued by the government, who knows what purpose it has?"

"Fuck your mother, are you suspicious of Zhou Mu?"

"That's right, that's right, can we live a good life without Lord State Shepherd?"

"Compared with copper money, paper money is indeed more convenient. Think about it, which one is more convenient to carry a bag of paper money or copper money? Besides, this is an order issued by the state pastoral government. Wang Zhoumu must have someone to do this Reason."

"Yes, support the State Shepherd."

"I believe that Master State Shepherd will not harm us."

"Hey, I know the news about this matter." In the crowd, a very fat man said.

A skinny man echoed, "Quickly tell me, tell me quickly, what is the news?"

Satisfied, the fat man raised his voice and said loudly: "My brother-in-law is the steward of Mr. Tian Feng's house. When he and I were drinking, he mentioned that the state pastor would promote paper money. At that time, I wondered what paper money is , Now I finally know. My brother-in-law also said that the salaries of all officials in Jizhou will be paid out in paper money, and food and salary will no longer be distributed.”

The thin man said again: "That said, it's reliable."

"I don't think it's appropriate. People who sell things don't accept paper money. That's useless."

At this time, someone raised a question.

A Confucian scholar smiled slightly and explained: "Who says it's useless? Zhen Yan, who is in charge of promoting paper money, was ordered by Zhou Mu to summon the grain merchants, oil merchants, and clothes merchants in Ye County, and even the people in Ye County. Merchants such as inns and restaurants have all been ordered to use paper money. You can take the money to eat and buy things. Even after paying, the change you get is still paper money.”

"That said, it's still useful!"

"It must be useful, otherwise, what is the state herdsman doing to promote paper money?"

……

The debate among the people became more and more intense.

After the paper money was announced, the entire Ye County seemed to be a noisy city, and the people in the streets and alleys were all talking about the paper money being promoted.

As time goes by, with the use of the people, coupled with the cooperation of policies, and the participation of merchants, paper money has quietly integrated into the lives of the people like spring wind and rain.

This situation has been repeated in other counties and counties.

The whole of Jizhou has undergone a revolution.

There are fewer and fewer copper coins on the market, replaced by more and more paper money.

However, in the process, there are also businessmen who see that paper money can make profits, and then take risks.It's a pity that at this time, the Anbu under Jia Xu and Zhen Yan, who is in charge, have been staring at him.

All businessmen who make fake money are all implicated in the three clans.

The harsh handling methods and the benefits brought by paper money have gradually made the people get used to it.

Time flies and enters February 194.

At this time, paper money has been completely circulated in Jizhou, almost replacing the status of copper money in Jizhou.However, Zhen Yan, who was in charge of this matter, felt embarrassed.

With doubts, Zhen Yan came to the state pastoral mansion.

In the study, Wang Lei said with a smile on his face, "How about it, is the promotion of paper money okay?" At this time, Wang Lei had two mustaches on his lips and black stubble under his jaw, looking mature. A lot, more majesty.

Wang Lei is quite proud of Jizhou's development.

Zhen Yan reported: "Master, the promotion of paper money has achieved unprecedented success. However, I feel that today's paper money has encountered a bottleneck. Many large-scale transactions, a piece of paper money represented by a copper coin, has become difficult to use. Many Commercial transactions are all transactions of more than one thousand yuan, or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, and paper money one by one is difficult to satisfy."

Wang Lei frowned and said, "It seems that it's time to print large paper money."

Zhen Yan raised her brows and said, "Did my lord expect this day?"

Wang Lei smiled, but did not answer, but ordered: "Well, from now on, you ask the person in charge of engraving to engrave paper money of ten, hundred, and thousand. Such paper money can be used for small businesses. It can also be used for large transactions. However, paper money of hundreds or thousands must be cautious, not to flow out in large quantities, take your time, otherwise it will easily get out of control."

After Zhen Yan heard this, she suddenly understood.

With a smile on her face, Zhen Yan said excitedly: "My lord's suggestion is really good. With a paper money of one thousand yuan, it can replace a thousand pieces of the most common paper money. And before a paper money of one hundred yuan, it is also It can replace a hundred... Before there are more types, the effect will be better. All paper money can be used in parallel, which is more convenient."

Wang Lei nodded, and Zhen Yan went to execute it immediately.

……

The introduction of large amounts of paper money has brought another level of influence to Jizhou.

Jizhou's business is becoming more and more prosperous.

In this way, many businessmen no longer go out with large piles of gold and silver when they go out. They can carry a large amount of paper money and travel all over Jizhou.The business of Jizhou became more and more prosperous. At this time, the surrounding states and counties were gradually affected.In Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, paper money unique to Jizhou gradually appeared.

This situation was immediately reflected on the state pastoral desks of each state.

……

Youzhou, Ji County.

State Shepherd's Mansion, in the hall.

Gongsun Zan sat high above him with a serious expression.In his eyes, there was a lot of pride.Liu Yu, the former governor of Youzhou, was vulnerable. After being defeated by him, he has become the soul of Gongsun Zan's sword.

What made Gongsun Zan angry was that Yinshou, the governor, had disappeared.

At the same time, Liu Yu's son Liu He also disappeared.

Gongsun Zan lost his seal, and in anger, not only killed Liu Yu, but also beheaded Liu Yu's whole family, old and young.The entire Youzhou belonged to Liu Yu's forces, and they were all beheaded.

However, there are still forces in Youzhou that are hostile to Gongsun Zan.

Liu Yu was killed, but Xian Yufu and Qi Zhou fled, and organized soldiers to resist on the northern border.

Guan Jing looked serious, and said: "My lord, Xian Yufu and Qi Zhou in Youzhou are just making small troubles, not making a big deal. On the contrary, Jizhou has made big moves. Jizhou recently launched paper money, which has a great impact. Many of us in Youzhou Merchants are starting to use paper money like this. The humble official is worried, and Wang Lei has evil intentions."

Gongsun Zan's eyes rolled, and after thinking for a while, he ordered: "Send down the order to seal the border and prohibit trade between the two sides, so as to prevent the paper money from Jizhou from flowing into Youzhou."

"promise!"

Guan Jing got the order and carried it out immediately.
