"The reason why he did this was to protect the rights and interests of all the people. For this reason, the government also issued an approval document. Now the price of rice and other grains is around [-] yuan,"

"The purchase of new coins is worth thousands of dollars, and all grain merchants, salt shops, cloth shops, etc. in the territory are like this, and they will completely guarantee your interests."

"In addition, this matter is not a discussion, but an unconditional enforcement. If you have any doubts, go directly to Shouchun and talk to the lord. As for you, you can exchange the full amount based on your household registration when you go back."

"The exchange time is three days later. During the three days, you must do a good job as a villager for me, otherwise the outdated old coins will no longer be exchanged and it will be very troublesome. Do you understand?"

After the county magistrate finished his explanation, his tone gradually increased, emphasizing that this was a mandatory order, because if this kind of policy was left unchecked, it would only mess up.

"Understood!" Everyone nodded in unison.

"Remember, the lord is for the good of the common people. Anyone who has an opinion, let them take it back. If you can't take it back, think about it yourself!"

"If you don't understand, you will be expelled directly from the place of household registration. In addition, as village officials, you are the most trustworthy people of the people. You must bear the brunt and exchange the new currency."

"It is expected to start spring, and the old coins will be completely eliminated!"

The county magistrate emphasized again that the requirements given to him were also very strict.

"I understand!" Everyone nodded.

"Okay, let's all go back. After returning, in addition to pushing out the new coins, we also need to actively prepare for the spring plowing in the next spring." The county magistrate said again.

After speaking, all the village officials left one after another.

After leaving the county magistrate's mansion, someone worried: "Do you think this will harm us?"

"Hmph, I definitely wouldn't believe it if I were someone else, but if someone like Duke Chu still doubts it, what is our conscience? In short, I trust Duke Chu unconditionally!"

"Me too, Duke Chu will never harm us."

"I'm getting old, but Duke Chu acts aboveboard, if we still question it, wouldn't we be ashamed?" An old man shouted with a cane.

Several people said this in a row, which also made the village official who raised this question flushed, and his feelings were lost by himself, which was somewhat embarrassing.

----

In a blink of an eye, three days later.

The news of the exchange of coins swept across all places under Chu Feng's rule like the wind, and every Lizheng passed on the news and held a mobilization meeting.

For the exchange of currency, the people have mixed opinions.

However, most of them believed in Chu Feng unconditionally, because Chu Feng raised them unconditionally for nearly a year during the previous famine.

With this courage, who can do it except Chu Feng?

What's more, the five baht money in their hands has poisoned them too deeply. Even if they have a little trust in the five baht money, they will not be so supportive of the new currency.

As a result, early this morning, the towns and cities of all sizes turned out to be deserted by thousands of people. Countless people arrived at the place where the currency was exchanged early, and all villages and towns from all over the country rushed to the city.

Everyone is cautious, because if they are robbed at this time, they will lose a lot.

Simply put, under Chu Feng's rule, all the bandits were wiped out, and the few who remained did not dare to stir up trouble at such a time, otherwise they would be suppressed.

And the points where coins are exchanged in various places,

As the officials came, they gasped when they saw the densely packed long queue. He didn't expect there to be so many people on the first day.

Good guy, aren't they afraid that Chu Feng will deceive others?

"Everyone, first of all, on behalf of my lord, I would like to thank you all for your trust. It is useless to say more, but please believe that the new currency will make your life better!"

The official said loudly,

At least he is convinced of this.

He was also born in a poor family, and he strongly agreed with Chu Feng's way of doing things. Others are bullying the weak, but Chu Feng is helping the weak, which is rare and precious.

"Okay, next you prepare copper coins and household registrations, and line up to exchange them in an orderly manner. Yamen servants and others are responsible for security inspections to ensure the safety of people's money."

The official confessed again.

Immediately afterwards, the exchange was in full swing,

The first batch of redemption is only for common people's families, and all aristocratic families are not allowed to exchange.

When these common people got the latest coins, they couldn't help but look at them excitedly.

This copper coin is thick, with edges and corners, and the graphic on it is the Great Wall on the front and farmers on the back.

The four characters are very important, and the two pictures perfectly confirm it. The Great Wall represents Cathay Pacific and is a symbol of the great man. The farmer wiping his sweat with a smile on his face is not Min'an?

The anti-counterfeiting system of this set of coins cannot be imprinted for at least 200 years.

That is to say, Chu Feng can completely control the number of these things issued, directly pinching the lifeblood of both the people and the aristocratic families under his rule.

"Guotai Min'an, okay, what a Guotai Min'an!" An old man weighed the copper coins in his hand, full of satisfaction, Chu Feng's actions were all for their consideration.

And this exchange is still going on like crazy,

This all stems from the trust in Chu Feng.

Because the crazy behavior of the crowd also made the people who originally wanted to wait and see choose to exchange, and the herd mentality told them that these people have all exchanged, and it is okay for them to exchange.

Ever since, the counties and towns in various places are very lively.

----

The next day, Shouchun.

Chu Feng didn't sleep well last night, he was preoccupied with the promotion of the new currency, because the matter was too hasty, and he didn't know if it would be successful.

If it is unsuccessful, it will inevitably make the already chaotic coins even more chaotic.

So, just after the genius came out, Chu Feng got up, and he was going to ask Jia Xu about the situation, because he hadn't thought about how to deal with it if he couldn't push it.

It is estimated that the credibility of the government will be destroyed by then.

As soon as he left the mansion, he saw Lu Su rushing towards him, and said anxiously, "My lord, it's gone, it's gone."

"No more?" Chu Feng's expression tightened.

"My lord, there is news from the nearby county towns that there were thousands of people emptying the alleys yesterday, and all of them exchanged our new currency in a concentrated manner.

Lu Su said excitedly.

He thought that the new coins could be released, but he didn't expect it to be so popular. It seems that the common people not only trust Chu Feng, but also don't trust the five baht coins in their hands.

Because the depreciation of five baht money is too fast.

After a year of hard work, if you say no, it will be gone. For them, coins are far less direct than food, so the replacement of coins is what the common people want to see more.

The premise is that someone like Chu Feng will take the lead.

"Everyone is empty? The exchange is over?" Chu Feng was stunned for a while, a little confused, he gave a lot of coins in the first batch of nearby county towns, at least [-]% of them.

I thought it would take a few days to digest, and he even expected to use a month for a large-scale replacement, but now it seems that the popularity is far beyond his own understanding.

This is hard to return?

A sign of the end of the five baht coin?

This is the case under his own rule, so what about other people's rule?Doesn't that mean that one's own maneuverable space will be larger?

"Good thing, good thing!"

"I never expected the people to be so enthusiastic. I thought it would be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be surprisingly smooth." Chu Feng said happily,

"All the coins are hoarded in major cities and will be distributed nearby. Since the common people agree so much, we can't be left behind."

"My lord, the family's side," Lu Su said cautiously.

Although none of the aristocratic family said anything, they all looked at Chu Feng's actions. Obviously, they also wanted to get this wave of blessings, but how they got it all depended on Chu Feng.

"The aristocratic family is not in a hurry. After the replacement of the people, the initiative will be in my hands. If they want to replace their own wealth, it depends on whether I agree or not."

The corners of Chu Feng's mouth curled up.

He would not be so stupid as to replace all the money of the aristocratic family. If he wanted to replace it, he could provide relevant certificates for being an official. If he could prove it, he could replace it. If he could not prove it, he was forbidden.

By the way, they can go to other princes' locations to purchase materials, which can be shipped back to Yangzhou, and the price for getting these materials is some copper coins.

Second, let the princes from all walks of life be more inflationary and lack supplies, so that more and more people will flow to their side.

"Well, go and summon Mi Zhu to me immediately, I have something important to explain!"

Chapter 235 The Secret Fight on the Eve of Guandu

General's mansion, study office.

Mi Zhu came striding forward, with a light smile on his face, he could be said to be proud of his horse's hoof, he bowed and said, "My lord, I don't know why I'm looking for my subordinates?"

His younger sister married into the Chu family, and she was reused by Chu Feng, and it was in his field of expertise, which was much better than following Liu Bei around.

And once Chu Feng wins the world, then his Mi family is also a relative of the emperor, and it is inevitable that he will be high and powerful. If he had known this earlier, he should have invested in Chu Feng earlier.

"Zizhong, don't be cautious!" Chu Feng waved his hand, but then said solemnly: "Thinking about it, you should know that the promotion of the new currency is extremely smooth, and your credit is indispensable for this."

"The lord is too famous. The reason why the new coins are recognized by countless people is that the lord is dedicated to serving the people, and the subordinates are only doing things according to the lord's request!"

Mi Zhu quickly defended and complimented.

"Zizhong, after the promotion of the new currency, the most important thing is to stabilize the price. There is a limit to this. You can cooperate with major chambers of commerce to launch some limited-time discounts on grain, cloth, salt and other commodities."

"This money comes from the treasury, and it is taken from the people and used by the people. As long as you use new currency to buy these things, the prices will all be given a certain discount. Of course, we must avoid people's fleece!"

Chu Feng solemnly confessed with his hands behind his back.

"My lord is far-sighted, and Zhu Yuan is far behind. But my lord, what do you mean by pulling wool?" Mi Zhu first complimented, but then he was a little curious.

"That's right. In short, set some thresholds to prevent people from exploiting loopholes. The purpose is to let the people accept the new currency as quickly as possible, understand?"

Chu Feng waved his hand without explaining too much.

"Understood!" Mi Zhu nodded.

"In addition, when doing business with other states and counties, the settlement price must be calculated based on the price of the local item. In addition, only gold or local materials are required."

"Nowadays, the economy is chaotic, and all the princes are stealing small money one after another. The money will flow into the market. We can't pay for them foolishly!"

Chu Feng specifically exhorted.

When the currency is in chaos, the country that stably produces materials will suffer instead, just like the ugly country printing money on a large scale in exchange for Chinese materials, and China must counter it.

"Understood!" Mi Zhu nodded: "However, my lord, these coins are only exchanged for money by the common people. These coins are destined to be limited, but the price will be lowered soon!"

"For example, there are 1000 million yuan in the whole territory, and [-] yuan in grain, but now the common people only have [-] million yuan. Doesn't it mean that the price of food will drop to [-] yuan?"

"But once the aristocratic family intervenes and they have sufficient funds, they will inevitably raise the price of food again. Although the foreign princes cannot control the currency, it is also difficult for the common people!"

Mi Zhu is a businessman, so he naturally knows that when the amount of money owned is reduced by a large amount in an instant, it will inevitably make the coins more valuable.

That is to say, the purchasing power has increased!

"Hehe, wouldn't it be good to shrink it by 9000 million?" The corner of Chu Feng's mouth twitched into a smile. Since the new currency is controlled by him, it is tantamount to pinching the lifeblood of the family.

"Wait until the replacement of the new currency is over and the market enters the first stable period, and then negotiate with the family. At that time, it will not be as simple as 2:1 for them to exchange the new currency!"

Mi Zhu's pupils trembled, Chu Feng still wanted to suppress the aristocratic family, he wanted the common people to buy more things with the money in their hands, and let the aristocratic family buy fewer things.

This knife cut directly on the main artery!

Mi Zhu was a little dignified, and remonstrated in a deep voice: "Master, although this move is beneficial to the country and the people, but the Han Dynasty puts the family first, if you offend them"

"Haha, offended?"

"A few third-rate families in the district dare to be arrogant in front of my Yuan family? If they dare, they will be punished? What's more, when will the check and balance of the world stop offending people?"

"If you don't even dare to do this, why don't you just disarm and surrender! What's more, Cao Cao won't be able to go south in a short time, and I'm still afraid of them with heavy troops in my hands?"

Chu Feng said with a sonorous voice.

Mi Zhu was also overwhelmed by Chu Feng's aura, he was not afraid of his hands and feet, and had the vigor of a young man, especially Chu Feng's continuous victories, even if the aristocratic family had anger, they could only swallow it back.

"What the lord said is true," Mi Zhu said from his heart.

"Remember, dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the reach of the horse's hoof. Besides, no matter how nice you are to some people, they will still rebel!"

Chu Feng frowned calmly, and said loudly.
