Zhen Yan had a serious expression and said, "I would like to suggest that the lord asks him to issue coins belonging to Jizhou in Jizhou."

Wang Lei was shocked and issued coins belonging to Jizhou? This is a big deal. Making money belongs to the court's rights, but Zhen Yan said it directly, which was really bold. Wang Lei quickly adjusted his mood, calmed himself down, and re-examined Zhen Yan in front of him. This man who started his business in business was indeed extraordinary.

Wang Lei calmed down and said, "Tell me your reasons!"

"promise!"

Zhen Yan responded respectfully, but he was already faintly excited in his heart.

Chance!

This is his chance to fight for his own rights!

Compared with Du Ji, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others, Zhen Yan did not have the talent to handle internal affairs, nor was he capable of strategizing; compared with Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Zhang He and others, Zhen Yan did not have the peerless martial arts skills to charge on the battlefield, nor the ability to sit in the military tent to dispatch troops.

However, compared with the civil servants and generals under Wang Lei, he was just a businessman.

Even if no one despises him, Zhen Yan is not willing to accept it.

The Zhen family is already tied to Wang Lei's chariot. If he stayed there, the Zhen family would be just a businessman who had sponsored Wang Lei. As Wang Lei's power became more and more powerful, the role of the Zhen family became smaller and smaller. Zhen Yan was not stupid. On the contrary, Zhen Yan could become a big businessman who was famous in Jizhou and was even rampant in Zhongshan Country, and had considerable means.

Zhen Yan knows very well what his strengths are.

Do business! Make money!

This is his strength.

However, Wang Lei is the lord of a state and is not short of money. In this case, Zhen Yan not only needs to be able to make money for Wang Lei, but also do things that are useful to Wang Lei, firmly obtain benefits for the Zhen family and firmly gain Wang Lei's trust.

The opportunity is right in front of you, Zhen Yan must seize it.

Zhen Yan said slowly: "Lord, Jizhou is located in the north, close to the border. Because of its special location, there are many people in business. They either sell silk or horses, and the business is very prosperous." "However, no matter how prosperous the business in Jizhou is, the control is not in the hands of the lord."

"Once the world's coins change, the business in Jizhou will immediately be fatal. For example, when Dong Zhuo was in power, Dong Zhuo took back the original Wuzhu coins and recast the copper coins. In an instant, the value of a copper coins changed immediately, and the same thing purchased by a copper coins also changed accordingly."

"Jizhou's business was immediately hit."

"In order to ensure the balance of Jizhou, even if Jizhou's business can influence the situation of the states in the world, the only way is to cast copper coins belonging to Jizhou. Jizhou is prosperous in business and wait for Jizhou to circulate. Once the other states use Jizhou's copper coins, Jizhou will firmly grasp the initiative and will be of great help to the lord's hegemony."

Zhen Yan’s ideas are bold.

Recasting copper coins in Jizhou is definitely an enemy of the court. But the benefits mentioned by Zhen Yan also made Wang Lei excited.

"Come!"

Wang Lei pondered for a moment and ordered.

"What are the instructions for lord?" Zhou Tai walked in and said with his fists.

Wang Lei ordered: "Immediately ask Jia Xu and Guo Jia to come to the study to discuss matters."

"promise!"

Zhou Tai turned around to pass the order, and Wang Lei looked at Zhen Yan and said, "The suggestion is very good, but it is very difficult to operate. Although the emperor is a puppet, the emperor is still alive and the Han Dynasty is still there. Once Jizhou privately casts copper coins, it will have a great impact."

Zhen Yan thought for a while and said, "Does the lord know what the result of the changes in copper coins from time to time? Copper coins are constantly changing, and the people do not trust copper coins. Many people do not use copper coins, but instead barter them."

Wang Lei frowned and said, "The people do not use money to shop, but instead barter with things. It's impossible."

Zhen Yan said: "Reporting to the lord, this is an indisputable fact. When bulk goods and certain items need to be purchased, they are indeed purchased with coins. However, in the market, many people do not think that coins are reliable and prefer barter. In fact, it is naturally good to buy coins, but the people are worried that one day, the copper coins in the past cannot be used, and they will lose their lives!"

“It makes sense!”

After hearing this, Wang Lei's expression became more and more serious.

If business wants to truly prosper, bartering is definitely not accessible.

Bartering is the most primitive means of exchange.

The two chatted, but it didn't take long. Guo Jia and Jia Xu came to the study together. After saluting, they sat down. Guo Jia said, "The lord is in a hurry to come to us. Is there anything important?"

Wang Lei's eyes turned, looked at Zhen Yan, and signaled to Zhen Yan.

Zhen Yan organized the language and said, "Mr. Guo, Mr. Jia, this is the case. Given the frequent replacement of copper coins, once copper coins change, it will have an impact on the business in Jizhou. I suggest that the lord cast Jizhou coins to stabilize the business in Jizhou. Further, use the business in Jizhou and use the copper coins circulated from Jizhou to influence the situation in the world."

After hearing this, Jia Xu glanced at Zhen Yan in surprise.

In the past, Zhen Yan was cautious in his work. From this point of view, he was a bold person.

It is not easy to make such suggestions!

Guo Jia thought about the feasibility of Zhen Yan's suggestion, and after a moment, he said, "The benefits of recasting copper coins are, but they are too vague. On the contrary, I can clearly see the disadvantages of recasting copper coins. The lord's recasting copper coins will inevitably be criticized by the people in the world. The example of Yuan Shao's betrayal of his relatives will be repeated soon. At that time, the lord will be criticized by the people in the world, and the expectations accumulated before will be destroyed."

There was a deep worry in his tone.

Zhen Yan naturally knew the risks of recasting copper coins, but he was unwilling to do so and immediately defended: "Military advisors, recasting copper coins will indeed have huge impacts, and there are risks. Once successful, they will inevitably use copper coins to affect the situation in various states. Compared with head-on battles on the battlefield, commercial soldiers who are defeated without fighting, I think it is feasible."

Jia Xu stroked his beard under the jaw and said, "It's very tempting, but it poses great risks. On the sedate, I agree with Fengxiao. The risk of recasting copper coins is too great, which is tantamount to drawing cakes to satisfy your hunger. The lord may be strangled before he has achieved results."

Guo Jia and Jia Xu are already very heavy.

The two people opposed it, which made Zhen Yan feel a strong sense of powerlessness. At this time, Zhen Yan could only look at Wang Lei, hoping that Wang Lei could give an answer.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu's eyes also fell on Wang Lei.

Wang Lei kept thinking in his mind that Zhen Yan's suggestions were quite valuable in Wang Lei's opinion. Using business to influence the situation in other states is a model of economic warfare and defeating the other party with economic means.

"I think it's OK!"

In the study, there was a thunderclap in the flat ground, and Guo Jia and Jia Xu were shocked at the same time.
