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

"My subordinate understands!"

"Remember, all policies must be implemented one by one and supervised at all times. Anyone who enriches his own pockets and abuses his power, once discovered, will implicate the three clans and will not be tolerated!"

"In this regard, I have also established an Anbu. These people will be responsible for monitoring the officials for me. Anyone who is corrupt and breaks the law will be executed to set the record straight."

Chu Feng looked solemn and could not allow any mistakes.

"No!" Lu Su nodded,

Anbe?He muttered something in his heart, Lu Su was also frightened by Chu Feng's resolute aura, he had to keep an eye on it, otherwise there must be moths below.

"Prices are what can make people live and work in peace and contentment. Later, you will tell Mi Zhu that his chamber of commerce will keep an eye on all parts of the territory for me, and stabilize prices at all costs,"

"I have already started the blacksmith camp to mint coins. During this period, prices will be stabilized. Only in this way can more people come to Yangzhou, and the economy will be more developed!"

"When the time is right, I will find a way to replace the currency and completely hold the lifeline in our own hands." Chu Feng said the plan for this period of time.

Coins must be changed,

Before, because of years of fighting, he was also worried about changes. Now that Cao Cao will not go south for a short time, he can indeed put this matter on the agenda.

"My lord, since Dong Zhuo made small coins, the currency system has collapsed, and prices have been soaring all the way. If we stabilize prices under our control, even if the treasury is full, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

Lu Su squeezed his chin and suggested.

He knows that all the princes in various places are now privately printing copper coins, and even under Cao Cao's rule, a grain of grain has risen to 50 due to disasters, which is too high.

It's all about coins!

"What do you mean?" Chu Feng asked with a frown.

"My lord, our army has newly defeated the Cao army. The people in the territory respect you, my lord, to an unimaginable height. Why don't you issue new coins this winter."

"First, even if there is turmoil, Cao Cao will not go south again. Second, he can completely get rid of the impact brought by the old coins. The exchange of new coins is based on the evidence of household registration."

"People don't have much money in their hands. After the money in people's hands is exchanged for new currency, the price will be set by us. All traders in the territory will no longer be impacted by the old currency, and the economy can recover faster."

Lu Su bowed and suggested.

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer traders, big and small, mainly because the prices remain high, and they have suffered heavy losses. Instead of being cut for leeks, it is better to choose not to do it.

After hearing Lu Su finish speaking, Chu Feng frowned: "Could it be too hasty?"

"My lord, it's really hasty for the other princes, but in Yangzhou, the people all think of the lord's benevolent government, and even every household has set up longevity cards for the lord,"

"My lord raised his arms and shouted, thinking that the common people will have nothing to say. Once the replacement is successful and the price stabilizes, our new currency may be available to the entire big man."

Lu Su looked excited and shouted.

It was hard for him to imagine that if their currency was directed at the whole big man, then the world's economic lifeline would be pinched by their throats, and it would be difficult not to make a fortune.

Chu Feng pondered for a while. He vaguely recalled the actions of Ugly Country before. He linked his coin with gold and became the world currency, directly controlling the global economy.

"In this way, let the blacksmith battalion rush to make the latest coins overnight. If there is not enough copper, the copper coins or other copper coins in the mansion will be melted into the building."

"This set of coins is anti-counterfeiting and cannot be copied by anyone.

As for the common people, publish the announcement, tell about the interests in it, and must promise that the new currency will be recognized by the government and can be exchanged for grain, etc. year-on-year. "

"And tell them that the old currency is about to be abolished."

"In addition, inform Mi Zhu to interview all merchants, large and small, in the territory, and all of them will unconditionally accept the new currency. Those who do not approve will be expelled from the territory and will never use it again."

Chu Feng's character is also the kind that does what he says.

Since Lu Su thinks it can be replaced, why don't he take advantage of this winter to sort out the coins so that the greatest lifeline will not be controlled by outsiders.

Otherwise, during the war, the people will suffer the most.

"My lord's words are very true." Lu Su nodded, Chu Feng was more thoughtful than him, and all the merchants agreed that there was not much difference between the new coin and the old coin.

This is to remove people's uneasiness.

Obviously, Chu Feng had already thought about coins, so he just had to fuel him up.

"Later, I will ask someone to calculate the latest exchange ratio. This time, the exchange of household registration in various places must be strictly investigated, and all large-amount exchanges must be stopped."

"The people are the main ones. I have my own way for the aristocratic family! Once there is a large amount of money exchanged by the people, all of them will be controlled. If you can show the relevant money certificates, you will be exchanged."

"If you can't show it, let me thoroughly investigate who is behind the scenes, so as to show you are listening." Chu Feng simply arranged the matter.

He knows that there are still many ideas for this coin,

The most important thing is to reassure the common people, knowing that this is for their own good, otherwise the inflation in the hands of the common people will only become less and less valuable.

"No, this subordinate will do it now!"

Lu Su was excited. Although this winter was cold, he was moved by Chu Feng's way of treating the people. He just didn't like to bully the people. It was conceivable that the tenant farmers in his farm were willing to work for him.

The world was in chaos, and what Lu Su lamented the most were the people everywhere.

"Go, remember to remind Mi Zhu that merchants should stand up as soon as possible, especially the daily necessities of the common people such as clothing, food, and salt." Chu Feng urged again.

"No!" Lu Su nodded.

After finishing speaking, Lu Su hurriedly resigned,

Now that this matter has been decided, he has to list all the plans as soon as possible. Chu Feng has a look at the overall situation, and he has to calibrate the details.

As Lu Su left, Chu Feng also fell into deep thought, and immediately took up a pen and wrote several letters, which were conveyed to the county guards in various places. Most of these people were his own people,

There are also some local tyrants,

The replacement of the currency is a major event this time. These people must contribute.

After finishing writing, he came to the map again.

Obviously, it is not enough to build a wharf only in Hefei. There are too few. He has to find a way to build wharves at the place where the Huaihe River enters the fertilizer water and where the Yangtze River enters the water.

And the docks have to be enlarged,

There are also spring plowing, conscription, and training in the coming year. From this point of view, there are really enough various affairs. It seems that I have to find some more people to help me.

For coins, he had to find a currency that the princes would first agree with. Only when more and more people recognized and used it could his own currency be deployed.

Jingzhou is stable, but has been plagued by old coins for a long time. Maybe it can be broken. Nanyang Zhangxiu stands on his own, and Hebei Yuan Shao and himself are half allies.

Since he was going to fight Cao Cao, it shouldn't be difficult for him to recognize the coin.

After calculation, it depends on whether the replacement of Yangzhou will be successful. If the replacement is successful, Yangzhou's economy will surely take off, and it will attract more people from all over the world.

Apart from this, Chu Feng went through all kinds of affairs from the people's army, from agriculture to weapons and equipment, including the number of soldiers available for deployment under his command.

Conscription is also imminent!

Chapter 234 New currency, Guotai Minan, empty alley for thousands of people

==========================================

Chapter 234 New currency, Guotai Minan, empty alley for thousands of people

In a blink of an eye, several days passed.

After days of continuous snowfall, it finally ushered in a clear sky.

Wangjiatun, a small village in Jiujiang.

At its peak, there were more than 100 households in Wangjiatun, hundreds of people, and now there are only half of them left. This is still the case when Chu Feng took over Jiujiang.

"Mother, there is news in the village. I heard that Duke Chu is about to move to Hefei in the north. Now he is recruiting laborers to build canals and take care of food and housing.

More than 100 copper coins a day, I am free and ready to work for more than a month. Da Zhuang came back from the outside happily and shouted in the courtyard.

The house is not big, with a main room, rooms on both sides, a kitchen at the corner, and a small vegetable garden in the yard, although it is dilapidated, it is well-kept.

In the house, at the stove.

The woman responded with concern: "It's winter, why don't you go there, don't catch the wind and cold, and it will be spring plowing in a while."

"Hey, the government distributes warm cotton clothes, as long as you go to work, you can bring them back after a month of work. And I forget it, it won't delay the spring plowing."

"Besides, Duke Chu always thinks of us common people. If you were replaced by other princes, not to mention giving money and clothes, they would all be forced to conscript corvee, and many of them would die from exhaustion.

I heard from my cousin in Runan that the price of grain over there is tens of thousands, and they can’t afford all kinds of things. It’s all thanks to Duke Chu that we have today in Jiujiang. "

"And you and Xiaobao haven't changed their clothes for many years. I'm going to work for more than a month to dress you and Xiaobao and have a good year."

Da Zhuang grinned, his skin was dark, he came in and consciously added fire under the stove, and the two children under his knees also rushed into his arms, he explained.

In his opinion, life is getting better and better now.

"Then when are you going? I'll prepare some clothes for you." Although the woman was reluctant, she still asked.

"I'm going tomorrow. It's not a tiring job. It's just digging to open up the waterway. There's no danger." Da Zhuang said with a smile, stroking the heads of the two children,

It is impossible to say that you are not tired,

But as a parent, he should protect his children from wind and rain,

"Okay, I'll find something for you to take with you. You can ask Mr. Li if anyone in the village has gone. You can take care of each other with them."

The woman said something concerned.

"okay!"

As for the villagers along the banks of Feishui and Shishui, countless people were saying goodbye. The conditions given by Chu Feng were so good that they didn't even dare to think about it in previous years.

That is to say, the treasury is full and dare to burn money like this.

In addition to widening the waterway, there are also construction of docks, renovation of official roads, construction of houses, and large-scale conscription. Although it is cold and freezing in winter, Yangzhou does not stop.

Everything is going on in full swing.

----

Another two days passed,

At this moment, all the county towns in Yangzhou have summoned all the village officials under their jurisdiction, and all of these village officials are local famous elders.

In Xiquyang, countless miles are gathering.

"Hey, it's nine days in the cold winter, do you know why the higher-ups called us here?" An old man looked towards Lizheng who was next to the village and asked.

"I don't know, but as far as I know, this is not our county, but the transfer of the entire Duke Chu. Obviously there is something important to announce."

Another old man stroked his beard and said seriously.

A group of people also speculated during the conversation.

At this moment, the county magistrate and county magistrate strode over, holding a notice in their hands,

Glancing at the crowd, he said, "Everyone, I'm calling everyone here in the depths of winter. I think you're all curious about what it is for, so I won't hide it from you here."

"However, Dong Zhuoqi handed out small money today, causing the prices to skyrocket. The money in the hands of the people can't buy many things at all. Coupled with the years of war, the prices of goods are even worse."

"If the lord hadn't been wise and mighty, and made many contributions to stabilize prices for the common people, I am afraid that Yangzhou, like other states and counties, will return to the era of bartering."

"The princes of many places have sent people to attack Yangzhou's prices, and the pressure on the coins is very high. In order to let the common people in the territory live a stable and prosperous life, the Lord decided to issue new coins!"

The county magistrate was very angry, and said to the Nakamura official.

"Singapore currency?" Everyone was confused, discussing what it was.

"Quiet, the new currency is mainly to prevent other princes from printing our currency and disturbing our market. This currency is recognized by the government and all traders in the territory,"

"Be sure to let all the people complete the exchange of new coins based on their household registration. The exchange ratio is two copper coins for one copper coin, and there are also silver coins, gold coins, etc."

"But is there any doubt?"

The county magistrate pressed his palm and forced an explanation.

"This"

Everyone whispered to each other,

It was a bit worrying to exchange two for one. There was a lot of discussion for a while, and the worry on the face was obvious.

"Hmph, everyone, Duke Chu has served the country and the people, and I see this old bone in my eyes. If it weren't for Duke Chu's relief, we would all have starved to death in last year's famine."

"Now, don't say that Duke Chu changed the currency for us, even if we are asked to hand over the money to him unconditionally, I will be the first to agree."

An old man in his sixties or seventies looked hale and hearty, and his voice was still ringing.

"Well said, you need to remember that if the lord wants to make money for you, he can just print money to buy what you have like other princes. Why bother?"
