Chapter 3156 When a crisis encounters a good opportunity
Why does Feiqian promote the monetary system?
Very simple.
It is for China to go out.
In the cycle of reincarnation of most feudal dynasties, most of the candidates were unable to move forward after unifying the ninety-nine cities of China.
Of course, this ninety-nine is just a false finger.
As a time traveler, Fei Qian needs to push the originally stagnant expansion wheels again, he needs to find an attractive enough "carrot".
This "carrot" is a precious metal.
Even in later generations, precious metals are still difficult to synthesize by artificially because gold and silver are the products of stars' death. During the Big Bang, the wreckage of supernova condensed into the earth, and then moved from the crust to reach the ground crust along the channels opened by magma, and then discovered by humans. So to a certain extent, precious metals such as gold and silver are inherently scarce, and China monopolizes one day earlier, and naturally enjoys them one day earlier.
Fei Qian proposed to use gold and silver coins. The reason why he was not rejected by the natives of the Han Dynasty also needs to thank a pioneer, Wang Mang.
During the reform process, the currency system was also a very important part of it. Unfortunately, Wang Mang was really only "Ruan". He changed four times in a row and finally created a "Daquan Fifty". Although the attack on private casting by the people was very severe, the well-known reason was that the referee who collected money judged whether the players were corrupt?
The failure of Wang Mang to change the currency system led to the Han Dynasty completely leaving the copper standard during that period and using various cloth and gold and silver as currency. Therefore, the circulation of gold and silver in the Han Dynasty was actually due to Wang Mang's contribution.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that China is a copper standard, because China is more of a practical system, and whatever is practical is used. In this process, the court often plays with local counties and counties, each showing its own trump card to play tricks, but the victims are ordinary people.
And now, Fei Qian almost opened a Pandora's box...
Xun Chen returned to his residence, and was still thinking in his mind. He even tried to understand some information beyond his three views, causing some brain pain.
For those of the current Han Dynasty, even those who are considered first-class wisdom like Xun Chen are difficult to understand Fei Qian's financial theories thoroughly.
Before Xun Chen sat down at the table, he seemed to want to pick up his pen and write some summary of the meeting, but when he picked up his pen, he didn't know where to start.
This is a huge plan...
When Xun Chen thinks about it now, he still feels his body trembling slightly.
This is a world that has never been mentioned by anyone, without any emperor, or prime minister.
Yes, Cao Cao failed.
Xun Chen once again affirmed this, and even felt clearer and more affirmed than ever, because Xun Chen felt that Fei Qian and Cao Cao were not on the same level at all.
During the rebellion of the Western Regions, who had thought that the rebellion of the Western Regions had already made many plans?
Who would have thought that Fei Qiang's rebellion in the Western Regions was an ostensibly targeting Lu Bu, but he was retaliated, with the focus on the treaty of the Shanshan Kingdom?
This attack was just under the throat of Xu County, and most people from Shandong were still confused and didn't know where the danger was and where the murderous intent came from...
The Han Dynasty actually gained little benefits when it attacked the Gentiles.
But there were no precedents before...
For example, Yelang Country.
Unfortunately, after conquering Yelang, all the gold obtained became reward items...
Well, just like the Huns that year, the cattle and sheep were rewarded, and then they disappeared.
The theory of currency circulation of Piqi is simply exquisite.
Xun Chen sighed.
If the utensil is not used, it is worthless.
If coins are not circulated, they are also meaningless.
Therefore, the objects that can be used can be called tools, and the gold and silver that can be circulated can be called currency.
By the way, the gold and silver that were before...
Xun Chen suddenly thought of something that made him more afraid, and then quickly interrupted his association, took a deep breath, and quickly changed the direction of thinking.
Yes, as the cavalry said, the reason why China cannot get out is because the Shandong guards in China believe that there is no value in the desert, in the dense forest, and in the west of the Gobi Desert, but how did the so-called valueless judgment criteria come from?
Can you farm?
A group of people who were just staring at the farmland, as if they were just guessing that the emperor in the palace used a golden shoulder pole to carry manure, but they could not even think about why they could not use a golden shoulder pole to make money?
There is gold in the desert.
There is silver in the south.
There are gold and silver in the Western Regions...
These places are still something that Fei Qian said has been found at the moment, and how many gold and silver production areas in the world have not been found yet?
The stability of gold and silver means that it is still gold and silver when it goes through thousands of mountains and rivers. Unlike other items, they will be damaged by moisture or fire. In this way, gold and silver will become the most common items from the outside world to China.
In this way, China's excess output will have sales...
Xun Chen previously thought that China's products were in short supply, but after he arrived in Pingyang and learned about the situation of the Three Auxiliary Places in Chang'an, he realized that China could actually make products with surplus most of the time.
But "Saveyuan" is sometimes not a good thing.
"The grain is a cheap man, hurting the farmer!" Xun Chen sighed, and then repeated the sentence again, these four words, and sighed for a long time. Why did he have to explain such a simple truth so that he could understand it?
What are the consequences of vigorous development, or full-scale development of farming?
It is "a low grain hurts farmers".
Of course, what Xun Chen didn't understand was that in order to maintain the authority that could exploit surplus value for a long time, the landlord class would subconsciously suppress the development of productivity. This is when the feudal dynasty reached a certain period of time, it called farming and sericulture as the basis, but in fact it would not pay attention to the continuous research and improvement of farming and sericulture technology at all.
Which of the past dynasties studied agricultural technology and then became a senior farmer?
Apart from Fei Qian, there is no one else.
Fei Qian outlined an undeniable fact that when the country stabilizes, the improvement of water conservancy production technology will inevitably lead to the output of agricultural products exceeding the total demand and leading to a decline in unit prices. In this process, the gentry and gentry will use various means to make self-cultivated farmers go bankrupt.
This is almost unsolvable, because it is like bureaucrats must be corrupt. When authority is in hand, the greed in human nature will inevitably be tempted again and again and eventually fall. Therefore, no matter how many farmlands are, it cannot transform the result of land annexation in China.
The only way is to go out.
The strategy to lure out is gold and silver.
Agricultural products have a shelf life.
No gold and silver.
Once China's wealth values ​​are transferred from land to gold and silver, this aroused desire will cause the Chinese to cross mountains, cross rivers, and cross dense forests. Under the squeeze of the original land, they will naturally expand to the outside world under the squeeze of many families.
Just like Xun Chen himself.
Didn’t he choose to go out when he was excluded by his family?
Xun Chen looked up. Although it was night now, there was more light in Xun Chen's eyes...
In Xun Chen's eyes, the future seems to be a little clearer.
...
...
Hanzhong, Nanzheng.
Fei Qian's advanced plan is advancing, but Cao's army is still staring at the territory...
A letter of 800 miles was placed on Li Dian's desk.
Li Dian looked back and forth twice and three times before handing him to Chang Lin, "Cao's army may have the intention of entering Hanzhong."
Below Changlin, there were Ma Heng and Ma Zhong.
Both Ma Ma were originally in Sichuan and Shu. Later, after Xu Huang entered Sichuan, Hanzhong was inevitably a little empty, so he was transferred to Hanzhong to strengthen Hanzhong's strength. Ma Heng and Ma Zhong were originally considered middle and lower-level managers in Sichuan and Shu. Now, after arriving in Hanzhong, they have become Li Dian's left and right hands, which is also a kind of promotion.
Li Dian's expression did not change much, but a turbulent heart arose.
He was both looking forward to fighting with Cao's army, but also worried and helpless.
When Li Dian surrendered in the early years, he was unwilling to accept it. Later, Fei Qian asked Cao Cao to get back Li Dian's family and clan members, so he calmed down. But Li Dian's peace of mind did not mean that Li Dian's clan members were willing. After all, the Li Dian members lived in Shandong for so long, and suddenly they could either settle down in Hedong, Guanzhong, rebuilt industrial farming land, or they had to follow Yinshan, which was inevitable that they would be a little whispering.
However, with the stability of Li Dian's status and the rise of authority, these Li Dian tribe members changed their previous complaints and became believers of the General of the Cavalry...
The cavalry is good!
Cao Zhe said he would pay attention to it, but what was the result? He was just a small general!
Now the cavalry gives it so much more affordable!
Alas, it smells so good!
The Li Dian tribe shouted, "We must always support the cavalry and lift them up... Cough cough, that's all, I completely forgot that when they arrived in the northern part of Guanzhong, they were still muttering to the cavalry and cursing Li Dian's incompetence. They were actually caught by the cavalry, causing them to leave their hometown... Then they are shouting that Guanzhong is their hometown!
Therefore, the change in the attitude of the Li Dian clan also in turn affected Li Dian.
But I really have to face my previous "boss"...
Where does this faint stimulation come from?
After reading it, Chang Lin did not speak immediately, but handed it to Ma Heng who was next to him.
Ma Heng quickly took over the information and opened it and saw that it was the emergency sending of the Cao army's movements in Wuguan from Guanzhong. The most important thing was the news that Cao Cao's offensive in Tongguan was frustrated and the revolving news of the cavalry.
"The lord is back..." After Ma Heng finished reading it, he obviously came a lot more easily. "The Cao army attacked Wuguan this time, and it turned out to be arguing against the west... It seems that Cao army is eager to fight with us, and this news is very important..."
Li Dian nodded and said, "The land of Hanzhong connects to Sichuan and Shu in the south, connects to Longyou in the west, and enters Guanzhong in the north, which is actually a crossroads. If Cao's army takes Hanzhong, it will revitalize the situation. You can attack the north, enter Sichuan, and cut off Longyou..."
When Ma Zhong heard this, he smiled and said, "Cao Thief really has a good calculation!"
Zhao Yun was considered a kind of saying that surrounded Wei and saved Zhao in Youbei, so Cao Ren was now "surrounded Wei and saved Zhao" from another perspective in Wuguan.
On the one hand, we used Wuguan to attract attention and involved the defenders of Guanzhong as much as possible. On the other hand, we were peeping at Hanzhong. If we could really conquer Hanzhong, then the entire structure of Cao's army would be revitalized, and the cavalry was cut off from the connection between the north and the south. In addition, the Jiangdong army attacked Sichuan and Shu. If it was a chain reaction, it would be really effective to achieve a slight effect...
If the cavalry army came to deal with Cao Ren, Cao Ren would turn the real into the virtual and then withdraw back to Jingzhou, and would not suffer much loss, but it would be equivalent to mobilizing the main force of the cavalry and spying on Fei Qian's virtual and real.
『Then…』 Ma Zhong said, 『Since that is the case, he would withdraw his outpost, strengthen his walls and clear his fields, and fight to the death with Cao's army!』
When Li Dian heard Ma Zhong's words, he nodded first and then shook his head.
Ma Heng, who was standing beside him, said: "I think it is not appropriate to withdraw the outpost..."
"Why?" asked Ma Zhong.
"If we withdraw the outpost now, wouldn't it just tell Cao Zixiao that we knew his plan?" Ma Heng said, "And withdrawing the outpost means that we have lost control of the front line and can only passively wait for Cao's army to attack..."
Ma Zhong thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It makes sense, but in this way, wouldn't it be better to sit and watch Cao Ren show his power in Wuguan?"
Chang Lin said slowly at this time, "Since you can't withdraw, why not try to hit me?"
Li Dian's hand stroking his beard paused, "I wish to hear it carefully."
Chang Lingong bowed and said, "The soldiers we are now deploying in the Shangyong area are a three-fold song. They were originally mainly defending against the Di people in the Shangyong area and the Shen family... The subordinates thought so. The Shen family was a little confused at first. Now if the Cao army came, they would definitely collude with the Cao army. If we pretended to go to rescue Wuguan and attack Jingxiang sideways, then the Cao army would definitely respond... When it was not changed, they did not know the change, but if the variables were obvious, it would be a fixed number, and they could be targeted at that time..."
Ma Heng clapped his hands and said, "The Chief Secretary said very much! As long as we move, the Shen family will inevitably send the news to Cao's army. At that time, Cao Zixiao will definitely take his men and horses to secretly retreat from the Wuguan Road, trying to cut off our retreat and then march into Hanzhong."
Ma Zhong was excited, "Okay! Then we can ambush Cao's army in reverse!"
Li Dian stood up and walked to the Hanzhong map carriage beside him to watch.
Indeed, the Shangyong area is the key point of the current situation in Hanzhong.
Li Dian thought for a moment and ordered: "Send an order to make Shangyong's troops more vigilant... Many scouts should not relax and carelessly."
Regardless of whether the Cao army is really coming to attack Hanzhong, scout detection is indispensable, and doing so is in line with normal response strategies and will not expose combat intentions in advance.
After all, Wuguan is so powerful that Hanzhong will show abnormality if it doesn’t do any movement.
After Li Dian issued the order, he was silent for a little while and sighed softly, "It depends on how Cao Zixiao chose..."
...
...
Previously, Shangyong Shen's family destroyed Li Dian's demonstration farming in Hanzhong, which did cause trouble for Li Dian, but in turn was used by Li Dian.
When Zhang Liao was in Hanzhong, he used his power to suppress it, but his power could not last long. After a long time, he would feel resentment. Therefore, after Li Dian took over Hanzhong, he began to change directions and used Yinshan to educate the Southern Xiongnu as a template to ease the relationship with the ethnic minorities around Hanzhong, mainly with the Di people.
Shen instigated the Di people to burn the demonstration field and thought he was a plan, but Shen did not expect Li Dian to endure it and did not directly promote the army...
This is the reason why it is better to slow down in many things than to hurry.
If Li Dian was not concerned about the situation at that time, it was that most of the Di people were in the mountains, and the attack was not easy, and there was little harvest. On the other hand, the dead were unable to speak, which would make the living people even more resentful and deepen the rift between the Han and the Di people. But Li Dian was smart here, and he was very thundering and raining, so he let the Di people fight the Di people by themselves. He did not pay much, but it made the Di people suspicious and began to split.
So the Di people in Hanzhong were successfully cut into two parts by Li Dian. One was in the north of Hanzhong, that is, the one who was encouraged by Shen and others, and the other part was in Nanzheng, and the Di people in Hanzhong, who were naturally closer to Li Dian in order to prove their innocence.
Thinking of the hard work of planning, Li Dian took it away...
Whenever the Shen brothers think of this, they feel that they will be stuck in their hearts in one breath and will not be smooth.
Although Li Dian did not go out to attack Shangyong and did not say anything to do anything to Shangyong, the Shen brothers knew in their hearts that the biting dog... Well, that's probably what it means. If Li Dian really whispered, and was as furious as a martial man, Shen was not afraid. But now Li Dian is like a guillotine hanging on their heads. Who knows when will it come to calculate?
In order to prevent Li Dian, Shen will do more things, but if he does more, he will also reveal more. It will be difficult to find some protective colors at that time. And as time goes by, Li Dian gradually becomes stable in Hanzhong and has close transactions with the Di people. Even if Shen wants to provoke it, it will not be as easy as when Li Dian first arrived in Hanzhong.
Although the Shen family pretends to be pure and good on the surface, they are unlikely to go back, whether they consider actual land interests or the current situation. So they can only grit their teeth and go all the way to the dark. On the one hand, they secretly mobilize the Shen family's children to Shandong first and transfer some of their assets. On the other hand, they are also trying to collude with Cao's army, thinking that they can turn the world around.
In fact, this mentality is like a corrupt official. He knows that he has been wrong, but he can't make up his mind to turn around. He holds a lucky mentality and thinks what if? This lucky mentality supports Shen. If he votes, wouldn't he not tell himself? Wouldn't he be a fool?
So, when the Shen brothers discovered that Cao Ren had a big move in Wuguan, the two were not surprised but happy, thinking that their good opportunity had finally come, but everything in the world is often like this. Who can tell the crisis or the good opportunity clearly?
