The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

"If the method is feasible, can the King of Hanzhong use three million gold to help the court tide over the difficulties?"

Before he succeeded, he began to ask for money.

Is this a new trick of borrowing money developed by Cao Cao?

What the hell, I can't say it well if I have something to say, so I have to fix this.

Liu Bei showed anger.

Zhong Yu hurriedly said: "This method can benefit the King of Hanzhong tens of millions of gold."

"Really?" Liu Bei asked suspiciously.

Loaning money to Cao Cao is basically nothing.

He is destined to be defeated, and Liu Bei is not optimistic about him.

But if I don't send troops, and give some money to support, I can feel a lot more at ease.

"What method can make me earn tens of millions of gold? If it is true, what's the point of lending Cao Cao three million gold!" Liu Bei said generously.

"Does the King of Hanzhong still remember Dong Zhuo?" Zhong Yu mentioned a famous historical figure.

Dong Zhuo has been dead for many years, but whether it is politics, military, economy, or people's livelihood, nothing can be separated from Dong Zhuo.

His influence is still there!

"Of course I remember, what do you want to say?"

"Dong Zhuo made money."

Speaking of currency, it has a long history.

I won’t talk about too long ago, just during the Warring States period, the messy currency system made people dazzled, and the market was unstable.

Later, Qin Shihuang unified the currency, and the situation improved a little.

By the time of the Han Dynasty, the right to mint coins had not been taken back to the central government, and the kings of various places were doing things here and there.

It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came up with five baht coins that the four baht and a half and "three baht" coins caused serious currency value confusion.

Until now, five baht coins are hard currency, and most transactions among common people are settled in five baht coins.

But since the day Dong Zhuo took control of the government, he has been thinking about making money, not to benefit the people, but to make money with money and make a windfall.

Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Eleven

Copper is needed as a raw material to mint money, and the output of copper is simply not enough.

Dong Zhuo began to think of a way!

He destroyed all folk copper goods, copper bells and other products, and melted them into raw materials.

At the beginning, Chang'an used to store Qin Shihuang's collection of weapons from all over the world, but Dong Zhuo didn't let go of the 12 bronze figures that were cast, and they were all destroyed.

With copper, it started to mint money.

Dong Zhuo didn't mint coins according to the rules. The coins he minted had a notable feature, that is, they were not enough in weight, which was almost the same as being short of catty or two.

If the princes want to search for the people's wealth, the best way is to issue money that is not worth enough.

Although Dong Zhuo is a martial artist, he has a good way of making money.So the five baht coins that have been in circulation for a long time were abolished and changed into small coins for circulation.

Since the small money was made by Dong Zhuo, let's call it Dong's small money.

This thing is so simple that it doesn't even have words, and the money side and money hole don't even have raised sides, so you can save as much as you can on raw materials.

It's a small round flat copper coin.

It is conceivable that the small coins cast in this way are not only extremely poor in craftsmanship, but also small and thin, and cannot be circulated at all.As soon as the people exerted force, the copper coins were broken.

Compared with five baht money, it is too far behind.

As soon as money was worthless, inflation began. At that time, the price of grain rose to tens of thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars a stone.

The people of Luoyang went to buy grain, and if they bought two baskets, they had to bring two baskets of money.

Later, the common people became wise. Since the money was worthless, they bartered things, and the small days barely supported them.

Dong Zhuo's tyranny is not only reflected in the killing, but also in the plundering of money.

Although in the end, the wealth collected by Dong Zhuo was cheaper for Liu Ke, but it did great harm to the common people.

If Liu Bei does the same, of course the money will be the fastest.

After listening to Zhong Yu's explanation, Liu Bei understood a little bit.

"You want me to mint coins again?"

"good."

However, Zhong Yu's method is better than Dong Zhuo's.

"How exactly?"

When Liu Bei asked this sentence, did it mean that he was very interested?

Because he is also poor.
