Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 371
In the spring of the eighth year of Zhonghua, Gan Ning set out from Shanghai with three fleets, crossed the sea directly to the east, and sailed to the country of Wa.

At this time, the country of Wa is basically similar to the wild.Gan Ning didn't encounter any so-called "kamikaze", and he chose a season when there were few storms.His three fleets brought more than 100 logistics ships, because he was afraid that after going overseas, he would have no food or weapons supplies.So when Gan Ning's fleet arrived in the country of Wa, the people of the country of Wa were terrified when they saw the sails covering the sky and the sun.

When Gan Ning led his troops ashore, they realized that they were coming with hostility.The political power of the Japanese state was similar to that of a large county in the Central Plains, and its army only had about a thousand people.And only on Kyushu Island in later generations, Shikoku Island, Honshu Island, and Hokkaido are basically indigenous people, and they still live a primitive life.

Gan Ning led the army and easily destroyed the country of Wa.Then Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang led the fleet to attack the other Shikoku Islands and Honshu Island. Kyushu Island and these two islands are across the sea and can be easily found.

In less than half a year, Gan Ning cleared the three islands and found Hokkaido.

There are not many aborigines in the four islands, and there are only tens of thousands of people scattered here and there.

In August of China, Gan Ning discovered silver mines in Japan and immediately asked Zhang Yi for technology to mine these silver mines.

Zhang Yi naturally knew that the country of Wa was rich in silver mines. The reason why he did not let Gan Ning attack Sanhan, but attacked the country of Wa first, was to exploit these silver mines.

Zhang Yi has always wanted to reform the currency system. Although the currency system of copper coins is very good, it has many drawbacks.The currency system of copper coins is fortunately based on copper as the measure of value. Since the appearance of iron, the use of copper has been much less. Most of them are used to make copperware or copper coins, which can be regarded as an effective use of copper.

There are too many disadvantages of the copper coin system. First, it is easy to cast privately. Copper coins can be cast only if copper is available, and they are easy to imitate.The second is that it cannot be carried in large quantities. After all, the weight of copper coins is too heavy. Most of the business in Dazhuang is bartering and using the most primitive transaction method.

Zhang Yi wants to learn from the gold and silver coins and credit currencies in the West, but the gold reserves are enough, but the silver reserves are too small.China has not been the origin of white eyes since ancient times. There have been a large amount of silver inflows in all dynasties, all of which were obtained by exporting other commodities.Later, it seemed that there was a lot of silver. Once a large amount of silver flowed out, there would be an economic crisis and social unrest.

There is a lot of silver in the Wa Kingdom, so Zhang Yi immediately sent people there, and even ordered Gan Ning to use the Wa people to mine mines, as long as he could get a lot of silver in a short time.

This is related to Zhang Yi's reform of the currency system, and it is also related to China's long-term stability, so Zhang Yi finally showed his long-hidden bloody fangs, and wanted to bite the Japanese country to death!
Gan Ning received Zhang Yi's order and immediately forced Japanese people to mine.Gan Ning was originally a murderous person, but he has improved a lot over the years due to military discipline.Now he finally showed his bloodthirsty side, and all the Japanese who refused to submit to the conscription were killed.After killing thousands of people, the Japanese surrendered and did not dare to make any more resistance.

With Zhang Yi's technical support, the silver mine was finally excavated, and silver production began in February of the ninth year of Zhonghua.The technicians sent by Zhang Yi were directly cutting wood and refining mines in the country of Japan. In March, the first shipment of silver was transported to Shanghai Port, a total of [-] catties of silver.

Subsequently, three or five shipments of silver were shipped to Shanghai every month.With sufficient silver supplements, Zhang Yi finally began to implement the new currency system.

He used steel molds to mint coins, and minted three types of copper coins, two types of silver coins, and three types of gold coins.

There are three types of copper coins: small coins for one renminbi, middle coins for ten renminbi, and large coins for one hundred renminbi.For the convenience of carrying, it is also in the style of five baht coins with an outer circle and an inner square.However, these coins are not made of pure copper, but copper alloys. Small coins, medium coins, and large coins are mixed with different metals.

There are two types of silver coins: small coins of [-] renminbi and large coins of [-] renminbi.Silver coins are also alloyed with different metals.

The three types of gold coins are small coins worth ten thousand dollars, medium coins worth one hundred thousand dollars, and large coins worth one million dollars.Gold coins are basically a manifestation of credit currency, because no matter what metal is added, it cannot be equivalent to a million dollars.

However, these alloys Zhang Yi has allowed the workshop to develop the strongest and most stable alloys over the years, which are not easy to rust or break.You must know that the wear and tear of five baht coins will be very serious, and it may be worn out in a few years or decades.

After researching these alloys, Zhang Yi specially asked the workshop to test them. Alloys whose hardness did not reach a certain level were not used at all. He just wanted to cast coins that could be used for hundreds of thousands of years.Like the coins of later generations, he will also cast the time on the coins, and change the steel mold every year.

Coins began to be promoted in the first month of the tenth year of China. The first batch of Zhang Yi released format coins worth one billion yuan to replace the old five baht coins.

Because of the exquisite casting, the new coins were very popular among the people as soon as they were launched.Copper coins and silver coins were quickly exchanged, but gold coins were only exchanged well for small coins, and there was a big difference between medium coins and large coins. People did not trust credit currency. After all, this was the first time credit currency appeared. People needed a adaptation process.

However, the reform of the new currency system has received unanimous praise from top to bottom, and it is believed that it is much better than the five baht coin.This is also related to Zhang Yi's long-standing prohibition of private minting of five baht coins, and he has made advance preparations for the reform of the currency system.

You must know that before Zhang Yi, it was not that the Han Dynasty did not prohibit the private casting of five baht coins, but this kind of thing was banned more than ever.Zhang Yi used tough tactics to deal with this. Anyone who dared to challenge would have no good end. Either their property would be confiscated, or the whole family would be arrested and reformed through labor.

As a result of the reform of the currency system, other forms of currency, such as cloth, have been successfully incorporated into the category of commodities, and have since disappeared from the currency system.The single currency allowed Zhang Yi to complete the national business integration, making business development easier.

Zhang Yi has also successfully grasped the lifeblood of the country through the reform of the currency system. As long as he maintains the right to mint currency, there will be no unsolvable problems in the future.Why do modern countries have a stable dominance?Part of the reason is the right to mint currency, which can hold a lot of voice.

After the reform of the currency system, the second step of Zhang Yi's thousand-year dynasty plan has been realized, and he will start to implement the third step next.

The third step is to unify the country and establish a central dynasty with a strong military. After completing the third part, you can start the fourth step.
