My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 236 Blackfaced Cao Cao, what's going on with the common people this time?

"A decisive battle after the beginning of spring?"

Everyone's pupils trembled and exclaimed.

They never expected that Cao Cao would want to fight in such a hurry. You know, a decisive battle at the beginning of spring would have caught Yuan Shao by surprise, but Cao Jun hadn't slowed down either.

"My lord, the decisive battle in the early spring was too hasty, and the whole army was at a disadvantage. It would be a good thing if we can go straight to Lian Zhan and win victories this time,"

"But once the stalemate is reached, our soldiers will be the first to tire of fighting, and they will be defeated at the first touch. We can't act too hastily." Xun Yu said in a deep voice.

"That's right, although Yuan Shao has a lot of ambition and talent, but the talented people under his command are like crucian carp crossing the river. If the Lord rushes to attack these people, he will definitely report to the regiment and deal with it with a long-lasting strategy."

"In this way, whether it's negotiating with Chu Feng or fighting with Yuan Shao's army, you will fall into the bottom line." Xun You also suggested that it is a good thing to be surprised and cover up.

But this battle is too risky to fight like this.

It can be said that once the expected effect is not achieved, Cao Cao will definitely pay several times the price for it!

Seeing that Er Xun stood up to veto his strategy at the same time, Cao Cao directly raised his eyebrows. He also knew the cost and consequences of doing so.

The advantage is that Yuan Shao may be defeated at the touch of a blow, and even be trapped in Yecheng directly. As for Gongsun Zan in the north, he may even stand up again.

"My lord, it's better to let Chu Feng go as an envoy first, check and balance Chu Feng first, and see his situation. As for Hebei, you can first follow what Gongda said before,"

"Transport grain and keep it there, repair the city, prepare troops and horses, and then fight." Guo Jia also suggested that Cao Cao went to battle one after another, and the soldiers had long been tired of fighting.

Hearing that all the think tanks under his command rejected his risky move, Cao Cao fell into deep thought again, thinking about how to break the situation.

If it's just Yuan Shao, it's fine.

Chu Feng in the south of the key was like a stick in his throat, and he hit him twice to no avail. Cao Cao was almost sure that Chu Feng would definitely do it.

Seeing Cao Cao's haggard and sad face, Cheng Yu stroked his beard with a light smile and said, "My lord never fights uncertain battles, but today he changed his normal routine and sought for a quick fight. I'm afraid it's because of Chu Feng?"

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and said deeply: "Chu Feng is deceitful, I have a hunch that he will definitely give me a heavy knife in the rear, since that is the case, why not take the risk."

This was Cao Cao's intuition. The deployment Xun You said was indeed no problem, but he did have some shadows, and he was always worried about Chu Feng.

"Hehe, my lord is worrying too much."

"First, Chu Feng's introduction of new coins may not require us to promote it, and it will become a mess, and the people under the rule may be dissatisfied."

"Secondly, the fertile fields in Guanzhong are thousands of miles away. If the lord is not at ease in the coming year, you can move some people from the Central Plains to Guanzhong. Even if the Central Plains loses the lord and enters Guanzhong, you can still check and balance the world."

"Thirdly, my lord may have forgotten that Yuan Shao is a man who is always scheming, lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside. If the lord is eager to take it, Yuan's army will be united as one, and it will be difficult to deal with it."

Cheng Yu stroked his beard and smiled lightly. He finally understood Cao Cao's thoughts. In his opinion, Cao Cao was brilliant and mighty, but he did not expect that Chu Feng would leave such a heavy shadow on him.

"Forget it!" Cao Cao nodded: "Then follow Gongda's layout first. As for Chu Feng, let the scouts keep an eye on them all the time, and report immediately if there is any movement."

"No!" Everyone nodded.

In the end, Guo Jia's plan to go on an embassy was put on hold for the time being, and we will wait and see, and at the same time, we will see what negative situations will be brought about by the new currency under Chu Feng's rule.

-

In a blink of an eye, three days later.

In Yangzhou, people from all over the country can only say that they are full of praise for the new currency. The old currency can buy grain at least two thousand yuan a dendrobium. What special discount do they have for exchanging it with the new currency?
Eight hundred dollars a dendrobium!
It is equivalent to a direct discount of [-]% on the price of food.

Not only food, but also all kinds of cloth, refined salt, etc., all have discounts, that is to say, not only do you not lose money, but you earn blood when you exchange it for new currency.

This is exactly what Chu Feng launched before, to benefit the common people, and in the end to cut off the aristocratic family's leeks. This batch of lost money is destined to be borne by the aristocratic families in various places.

The key point is that the dumb eat Coptis chinensis, and it is hard to tell. In the eyes of the aristocratic family, they are making money by not exchanging new currency for the time being, so they are not in a hurry.

As a result, countless people in the territory are all eager to exchange.

For Chu Feng, all the people gave a thumbs up. They hadn't seen a high-ranking person who was dedicated to the people in many years. Almost every household had Chu Feng's Longevity Card.

Because of Chu Feng's new currency, in just a few days, the common people can clearly feel that the money in their hands has become valuable, which is ten thousand times better than the officials who take away the people's fat and anointing.

The key point is that Chu Feng has done so much for the common people, but there is no publicity. It is all spread by word of mouth by the common people. They also know that Chu Feng did all of this.

Because of this, recently many young men and adults have been welcomed into the conscription offices in various places to join the army, some of them voluntarily, and some of them are requested by their elders in the family.

As ordinary people, they are not qualified to choose a superior like Chu Feng, but they can do their best to get their children to enroll in the army and protect them together.

At the same time, an imperial edict spread.

It probably means that Chu Feng's privately minted coins were lawless and disrespectful to the great man, and he specially issued an edict to the world that the privately minted coins of Chu Feng were useless, and the court would not approve them.

And asked Chu Feng to destroy the coins immediately!
However, the contents of this series were scoffed by the common people and spread, and the reviews were not very good.

"Damn it, the Great Han court is really shameless. Our five baht coins have been messed up, and we have suffered a lot. If it wasn't for Duke Chu to stabilize prices for us, I'm afraid we would have starved to death on the streets."

"That's right, Duke Chu is kind and devoted to the people. It is inevitable to offend the court. Because of this, we cannot let Duke Chu face it alone. No matter what, my Wang Family Village supports Duke Chu. Even if we are deceived, we are willing. "

"That's right, the new currency is the cornerstone of Duke Chu's consideration for our people. If we don't even support ourselves, who can we expect to uphold justice for us?"

"I, too, support Duke Chu unconditionally!"

"Yes, let's face it together. I'll go back and exchange all the copper coins at home for new coins."

"Everyone, be quiet. Although the old man is old, he is not old and dim-sighted. Duke Chu is dedicated to serving the people, but that thief Cao doesn't want us to live a good life."

"We must not allow him to come, and we must not let Duke Chu feel cold. We all go back and have a look, and take out all the remaining money at home to exchange for new coins,"

The old man took the initiative to stand up and speak out.

And there are many similar situations,

All of a sudden, righteous indignation filled the entire territory, and they all spoke out for Chu Feng. Cao Cao's edict not only failed to achieve any effect, but instead made the people all over the place more united.

Supporting Chu Feng is unprecedented,

As for the imperial edict, ah, that's just a joke!
-

General's Office,

Lu Su came over enthusiastically, and said anxiously: "Master, Cao Cao issued an edict in the name of Emperor Han, questioning our coins, and calling them lawless."

"However, because of this move, people from all over the world have become more cohesive, and the number of exchangers has not decreased but increased. It can be said that it is like God's help!"

"Nowadays, the replacement of new coins can be said to be extremely successful, and the prices of various items are dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye."

"Hehe, lawless?"

Chu Feng chuckled softly, slowly put down the Chinese book in his hand, and then said solemnly: "Don't pay attention to those clowns, just keep an eye on them, and punish those who steal and cheat, and don't let the aristocratic family take advantage of the common people to make profit from it."

"It is inevitable that the market price will become cheaper and cheaper, and it will eventually return to the level where people dare to buy."

"In this way, first announce the deadline for the exchange of the first batch of new coins. In addition, publish the announcement to counter the content of Cao Cao's edict, from people's livelihood to the credibility of coins."

"Oh, by the way, get ready for the second batch of new currency exchanges. By then, the current market price will be compared with the old currency to form a new exchange ratio."

"The exchange ratio has increased?" Lu Su was surprised.

"Naturally, at a certain moment, those people will be anxious." The corner of Chu Feng's mouth curled up, and the exchange rate with the common people was 2:1, and it might be 5:1 with the aristocratic family!

Lu Su was speechless, his boss is quite ruthless.

Especially when dealing with those aristocratic families, it was exactly the opposite of his father Yuan Shu's approach. Chu Feng suppressed exploitation as much as he could, but his rule became more and more stable.

"In this way, keep an eye on it at all times, mainly to stabilize the market price, and the government will introduce measures to cover the new currency, and inform the people that the conversion ratio of the new currency will be adjusted."

Chu Feng exhorted.

"No!" Lu Su nodded.

"Also, the New Year is coming soon, let the merchants from all over the place lower the cloth price, so that the common people can wear new clothes this year, and the government will bear all kinds of subsidies."

Chu Feng looked at it with a little expectation.

He still remembers that when he was a child, his favorite thing was the Chinese New Year, because during the Chinese New Year, he was accompanied by his parents, there were all kinds of delicious food, and his parents who were working outside would take him to buy clothes.

Of course, the good days are short-lived. Every year after the year, I will be sad because my parents leave secretly, and I can only touch my tears in the dark.

"This!" Lu Su hesitated,
To be honest, he could see the stalwart that belonged to Chu Feng, that height that others could not reach, that kind of heart that sincerely cared for the common people.

To use Chu Feng's words, obeying the aristocratic family means unifying the world, and after a hundred years, it will still be a change of dynasty. Although Chu Feng has no better way,
But his attitude towards moths never changed.

If it is replaced by other princes, not to mention subsidizing money, it is already lucky that they can not forcefully expropriate.

It may be Lu Su's honor in this life to be able to do things for such a wise master. He has left his name in history and has no regrets in this life.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely implement it in an all-round way." Lu Su responded forcefully.

"Well, that's very good. In addition, food is the most important thing for the people, and spring plowing is about to begin. This winter will be covered with heavy snow, and the next year will surely have a bumper harvest. We must make all preparations."

"During the spring plowing period, except for the necessary projects, the rest of the construction will be suspended, and the spring plowing will be the main one. We must ensure the output of autumn grain." Chu Feng solemnly confessed.

"promise!"

----

Yuzhou, Xuchang.

At the general's office, everyone is still discussing matters.

"Report, my lord, there is an urgent message for Shouchun!" The personal guard entered with a letter, Guo Jia took it, waved the personal guard and retreated.

Zhang Mu glanced over, and Guo Jia's eyebrows couldn't help stirring.

"Feng Xiao, is the letter talking about coins?" Cheng Yu and others looked over, and the former asked.

"Yeah!" Guo Jia nodded.

"Haha, how many new coins did Chu Feng exchange for? Thinking about it, it is impossible for those old Bai surnames to give the coins to Chu Feng, not to mention that the imperial court does not recognize the coins, how would the people dare to exchange them?"

Cheng Yu stroked his beard and smiled confidently.

"Countless new coins have been exchanged!" Guo Jia said solemnly: "Since Chu Feng launched the new coins, the common people have been keen to exchange them, and it seems that they are not too worried."

"Furthermore, the letter also stated that because of the imperial edict, the people everywhere have recognized Chu Feng's coins more and strongly recommended and supported Chu Feng."

After speaking, Guo Jia was also depressed.

The ordinary people who have always regarded wealth as their destiny were really fooled by Chu Feng?
It was said that Cao Cao had a dark face at the moment.

what does this mean?Because of his own reasons, did Chu Feng's coins spread faster?

Damn, what is this called?

And below, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and others all had a calm face, each of them was a little embarrassed, because they all made mistakes in their judgment, they thought that ordinary people would not dare,
Coupled with the fact that the imperial court did not recognize it, these ordinary people would not dare to overstep. Who would have thought that all this was not what they thought at all, it was completely subverted.

"He, how did he do it?"

Xun Yu's elegant face was a little more horrified.

He has governed the state and county for many years, and he thinks he understands the people fairly well. He really can't understand why these people would do this.

"The SGD government and all chambers of commerce recognize it. In addition, he also launched a series of so-called preferential activities. It is much cheaper to buy food, cloth, salt, etc. with SGD."

Guo Jia explained.

However, Xun Yu fell into deep thought, and said solemnly: "My lord, it seems that Chu Feng is very popular among the people. I am afraid that this new coin may really be promoted by him."

Xun Yu was shocked by this.

You must know that it took a long time for the big man to introduce the five baht coin before the common people recognized its value and used it to form the current currency.

But Chu Feng succeeded with ease.

Xun Yu knew that the advantage of being able to control coins independently was too great. Chu Feng could almost pass on the losses caused by the war by directly issuing coins.

"Master, Chu Feng's independent control of coins can reduce the impact of troubled times. We should send people to obtain new coins as soon as possible, so that craftsmen can continue to impact the market under Chu Feng's command."

Cheng Yu knew the benefits of launching the new currency at this moment, so he immediately suggested.

The five-baht coin is really rotten, and now the people don't believe in the five-baht coin at all, and they all barter.

"That's right, when conquering the new currency and sweeping Yangzhou as soon as possible, don't let it alone!" Another person suggested.

"My lord, here are the new coins introduced by Chu Feng!" Guo Jia said while taking out several copper coins, one silver coin and one gold coin from the cloth bag.

Immediately, several people each took one for appreciation.

"This craft!!"

Cheng Yu exclaimed, dumbfounded.

Is this really just a copper coin craft?

Good guy, the lifelike mural characters on it, he just said that the coins are engraved, but after looking at the craftsmanship, Cheng Yu was numb.

This nima craftsmanship is already more expensive than the copper coin itself, right?
You know, the craftsmanship of the five baht coin is very simple, except for the normal outline, it is the word five baht in Xiaozhuan script, so the difficulty of re-engraving is extremely low.

But Chu Feng, if you sell this copper coin, it’s worth more than the copper coin itself, right?

And the old farmer on the back is even more lifelike.

Who can reproduce this money?It is estimated that the difficulty of counterfeiting is ten times and a hundred times the value of the coin itself.

"Forget it, this matter has never happened!" Cao Cao waved his hands with a dark face, simply not wanting to get entangled with this.
