Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 94 Bad money drives out good money

"But what would you do if you received such a large amount of copper coins?" Fusu continued to ask.

This question stumped Liang An at once. Seeing Liang An scratching his head, Fu Su replied, "Of course, you can buy things with only one copper coin. I will spend two such copper coins, or even Buy this thing back with three such copper coins."

"Ah?" Liang An opened his mouth wide, and said, "If you do this, it won't hurt you? Would anyone do this?"

"If you are a small street vendor, and you need to use the money from selling goods to support your family every day, to purchase goods, and receive such copper coins, do you still keep them in your own hands? And in order to make up for the loss, and How will it be done?"

Liang An blurted out, "That must be raising the price of the goods."

"But, if Ma Yuan does this, won't he lose money?"

"Of course he won't lose money." Fusu held the two copper coins and continued: "There are no less than 20 copper coins in this box, but in fact, it may cost Ma Yuan even 20 yuan to get this box of copper coins." He has no money, even if the [-] copper coins are spent as [-] copper coins, he will still make money."

"And once the money flows into the street market, it will inevitably cause prices to rise. Even those people who use good money have to spend more to buy daily necessities. This vicious circle eventually leads to As a result, a large number of people must go bankrupt."

"At that time, the street market will be flooded with these fake and inferior copper coins, and the better copper coins will be collected and minted by no one to use them, and then repeat the above process again. You can no longer see copper coins of good quality, this is bad money driving out good money."

Hearing Fusu's final conclusion, Liang An couldn't believe it, and said, "Could it be that this box of copper coins can cause such a consequence?"

Fusu shook his head, and said: "Of course a box of copper coins like this is impossible, but these people continue to mint such fake copper coins in private, so that a steady stream of bad coins will flow into the market, and eventually this will happen. consequences."

"This Ma Yuan is really harmful. He wears gold and silver, but makes poor people unable to eat." Liang An gritted his teeth.

Fusu nodded, and took down the Yunxi Inn. Fusu had a new understanding of the anti-Qin forces hidden underground, and what he saw was probably the tip of the iceberg.

"But how do these people spend the money?" A doubt arose in Fusu's mind.

Even if the 20 yuan is placed in the Yunxi Inn, it is not so easy to quickly charge it to the market. Naturally, the sooner this kind of thing is done, the better. Those people will definitely not fail to consider this point.

"Brother, what is this?" Liang An held a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, and walked in front of Fusu.

Fusu quickly took it over to look at it, and spread out the bamboo slips. Fusu couldn't sit still on the first line, which read: "Luoyang North City Grain Merchants List."

Thinking of the box of copper coins before, Fusu suddenly realized.

In more than a month, it will be the autumn harvest season.Which household still has surplus grain at home?At this time, it is a good opportunity to sell grain to the people at a high price.

And more than a month later, the people will harvest in autumn, and the people will need to sell the grain at that time, and the price will naturally be extremely low.

If you take the opportunity to trade these copper coins to the common people, it is conceivable that for the common people, it will be worse, but for these bastards, it will be a carnival feast.

At the same time, they can turn those bankrupt people into their own slaves at a very low price. Once the situation changes, these people who have become their slaves will have to be tied to the chariot by them and become the anti-Qin alliance. part of.

Yunxi Inn is located in Luoyang, a place where the world extends in all directions. Once the economy here collapses and the anti-Qin forces hidden in the ground come to the fore, I am afraid that in an instant, this place where Qin Guodong came out will change its banner.

No wonder that in the original time and space, Liu Bang easily captured Sanchuan County, and the county guard Li You resisted for a while, but was directly beheaded.

Fusu narrowed his eyes slightly, these thoughts just slipped through his mind, causing cold sweat to break out on his back.

Just the appearance I glimpsed from the Yunxi Inn is enough to make people terrified!

The entire layout is independent and concentrated, and they are inextricably linked to each other, maintaining independence, but in each layout, they are interlocking.

Whoever devised such a plan is simply a genius.

The figure of Li Zuoche suddenly appeared in Fusu's mind, is it him?
Fusu put aside such thoughts in his mind, and continued to search in Ma Yuan's small courtyard, to see if he could get some other gains.

Suddenly, Fusu saw in the brazier beside him, there was a bamboo slip with only a small corner burning.

Looking at the hot weather outside, what kind of brazier should be lit at this time?Fu Suxuan was about to carefully pull out the bamboo slip and wipe it clean.

"The goods will arrive tonight, ready to meet them." Fusu looked at the small characters on the bamboo slips, and read them lightly.

Touching the brazier, there was still residual warmth, Fusu guessed that the "tonight" above should refer to tonight.

Even if Fu Suxuan was annoyed for a while, he would not have let Ma Yuan go if he knew earlier, but now he didn't even have an insider.

However, Fu Su also knew that if he didn't kill Ma Yuan before, his plan was to let Ma Yuan report the letter, so that the people behind Ma Yuan would jump out of his own initiative.

Fusu sighed, and knew that things in the world would not always go his way.

But judging from the meaning on the bamboo slips, Ma Yuan should have done many similar things.Fusu had some guesses in his mind.

But it still needs to be verified, so Fusu immediately called Shifu and gave a few instructions.

Most of Ma Yuan's cronies are dead, and the only breakthrough left now is the servants in this inn.

Although these are not Ma Yuan's cronies, they still get along with Ma Yuan day and night. Now that Ma Yuan is finished, naturally he can only serve him to help Su.

Fusu didn't expect to extract any useful information from these people. The only role these people can play now is to verify whether their guess is correct.

If it really went according to what I guessed, maybe tonight, there will be a different harvest.

And if not, nothing is lost.After a while, Shifu returned to Fusu's side and whispered a few words.

"Shifu, we must make the Yunxi Inn look the same as usual. Tonight, we will wait for the rabbit."
