In order to handle this matter, Yuan Shao could only find the talents who were best at this.
Guo Jia.
When he arrived at the Chancellor's Desk, Guo Jia was busy reviewing the reports from various places. There were many reports, piled up like a mountain. These were lists of tax-free women in need of relief from various places after the implementation of the Ding Ding policy.
In this small chancery, when Yuan Shao arrived, Guo Jia didn't even have time to raise his head. Guo Jia held the report in one hand and a pen and ink in the other.
His eyes were fixed on the report, browsing it quickly, while one hand was constantly recording. He kept picking up new reports, and his hand speed was still enough to record them. Yuan Shao was shocked. Guo Jia recorded the report.
The time it took to read the newspaper was actually faster than his own fastest reading speed. Yuan Shao looked at him for a long time and was really frightened by his amazing speed. After a long time, he slowed down and waited for Guo Jia to be busy.
over.
After a long time, Guo Jia was still busy.
Yuan Shao felt helpless and walked to an official and asked in a low voice: "How long will Fengxiao be busy?"
"Back to Sikong, Shangshu Ling will probably have to stay up late..." The official said with some fear. Yuan Shao sighed helplessly. It seems that Guo Jia can't help him for the time being and can only do it himself. But this
He has never implemented any major plans. What if he messes up? Damn Liu Zichu. Yuan Shao cursed in his heart and left the Chancellor's desk helplessly.
When he returned to Sikong Mansion, he immediately summoned people.
Since no one else can count on him, he can only handle it himself. No matter what, even if there is a problem, he can just handle it himself. Yuan Shao had an idea, so he stopped worrying and directly assigned people to move the mansion
The manpower inside was sent in four directions to explore the local situation along the way. This was to prepare for the unification of prices, while the rest were sent to talk to merchants from various places and acquire their properties.
The temple will take care of it.
As for these merchants, we cannot cut them off and let them go to Ningzhou and Xizhou to deal with foreign countries!
Yuan Shao ordered everything and rushed directly to Jiang Zuo's Mansion. He brought out Ma Jun who was busy and talked about the matter of casting coins. Ma Jun asked with some confusion: "Sikong wants to recycle copper coins.
Mint coins again, or directly increase the circulation??" Yuan Shao frowned and said: "I don't know about these things. Ma Jun is Wen Renggong's disciple, what kind of advice do you have?"
"In my opinion, people are used to five-baht coins. If they are reissued with insufficient copper content, the market will collapse. If the copper content is too high, it will hinder the casting. The five-baht coins are just right and do not need to be modified. They should
Increase the circulation, mint more coins, and distribute them all over the world!" Ma Jun said seriously, Yuan Shao nodded and said: "Then summon the craftsmen, and you will be responsible for this and the casting."
"Sikong...how much will it cost to cast?"
"Make a billion dollars!"
"Is this...a little too much??"
"The country's copper reserves are sufficient, just do as you are told! I will handle the issuance myself!"
Yuan Shao ordered, and Ma Jun could only nod and accept.
On one side, he minted coins, and on the other side, Yuan Shao relied on the powerful power of his family to contact many big merchants in the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shao intended to take these people into his account and serve as officials to manage the public sale system and their industries.
It immediately became the country's property. Although it was a bit unfair to them, it also served as a shield. Being able to transform from a low-ranking merchant to a scholar was already the greatest benefit.
What's more, they can escape from their powerful status and move closer to a wealthy family. With the protection of temples, many things will be more convenient. As for losses, there is nothing they can do about it. They are the merchants with the lowest status in the Han Dynasty. There is no way to refuse.
Especially when facing a behemoth like the Yuan family, they have no intention of opposing. They are not afraid of the emperor. The emperor will not punish them for no reason, but they are afraid of the Yuan family!!
It would be easy for this giant to wipe out a few of their merchants.
Yuan Shao also did not trust them very much. In order to supervise them, Yuan Shao appointed a person as a fake follower of the Sikong Mansion. He was responsible for supervising the behavior of merchants and the collusion between officials and merchants. This person was
It was Situ Cao Cao's fourth son, Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi held such an important position in his weak years, especially when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were at odds, which stunned all the officials.
The same was true for Cao Cao. When Yuan Shao arrived at Cao Cao's mansion, hoping that his fourth son would become an official and help him, Cao Cao was also stunned. His eyes widened and he looked at Yuan Shao. He was a little doubtful whether the Yuan Sikong in front of him was the same person.
The demon pretended to be a demon, so Cao Cao asked with some vigilance: "Why were we hunted down by the county magistrate when we were young??" Yuan Shao had no choice but to answer: "Robbing his daughter-in-law."
Only then did Cao Cao confirm that the man in front of him was indeed his good friend Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao said: "I need a smart young man with a clean foundation, who has never been an official before, so that I can better train him. This position has just been established. I have no idea how to implement the policy. Young people are the best. I originally wanted to use
My second son, but... forget it, forget it, I heard that your fourth son is smart, so he lent me his help... If the policy succeeds, you don't have to worry about his future future. If it fails, I will take care of him.
You don’t have to worry about him."
Cao Cao thought for a long time before calling Cao Zhi over.
"Zijian...hurry up and meet your Uncle Yuan!"
Cao Zhi was stunned and hurriedly paid his respects. Yuan Shao looked at him and saw that his eyes were bright and he showed no fear when facing him. Then he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take him away!"
, pulled Cao Zhi and was about to leave, Cao Cao jumped up quickly, stood in front of him, and said: "If you want to use him, I can't control it, but he has to agree on his own before you can take him away!"
Yuan Shao said with some disdain: "You can't make the decision in this Cao family??"
"Hahaha, I am different from Benchu. My sons have made their own decisions since they were young. I have never interfered. That's why each of my sons has talents." Cao Cao said with some pride, Yuan Shao said
Then he looked at Cao Zhi and asked: "Your name is Zijian? Zijian, are you willing to follow me and do great things?"
"What a big deal?"
"A major matter for the country and the people."
"good."
Yuan Shao nodded, very satisfied with Cao Zhi's answer, and pulled Cao Zhi away from here. Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao taking his son away in a daze, and shook his head helplessly. This three-coin strategy almost cost him
This guy has been driven crazy. Should I report to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to send him some men?
Yuan Shao took Cao Zhi out of the mansion. Along the way, he was not idle and kept giving instructions on many important things.
"You have to know that I didn't bring you here to let you go through qualifications. You have to do it wholeheartedly. Even if you don't think about yourself, don't embarrass me or embarrass your father. You can have someone in your name.
I haven't found the forty officials yet. You have to find these people yourself. You can go to Situ, or you can go to Shangshu Ling. You can go to anyone except Your Majesty. I'll give you two days.
, you must find it for me!!"
"Your responsibilities are very heavy. During this period, I have been contacting merchants from various places and purchasing their properties. However, prices have not yet been unified and sales cannot be carried out. When prices were unified, many officials colluded with merchants.
, have been discovered by me, and I beheaded them all. However, in the face of huge profits, merchants contact them at any cost. You are Situ's son and an official of my Sikong Mansion. Your brother is still in the East Palace.
If anyone dares to embarrass you, just catch them!!"
"If you encounter someone powerful, don't come to me. You can go to General Zhijinwulu, you can go to the Prince of the East Palace, you can go to the officials at Yushitai, if you are outside the city, go directly to Hua Xiong, and,
If you go to other places and find the prefect named Yuan, you can do it."
"I found you because you are young. You need to be bolder and don't be afraid. You have the support of people like us!"
Yuan Shao said, and before he knew it, he had already rushed to the mansion. Yuan Shao hurriedly introduced Cao Zhi to many officials, and asked Cao Zhi to quickly find people. Sikong Mansion could give him three people. Cao Zhi looked a little excited, he
Perhaps he did not expect that as an official for the first time, he would hold such an important position. After bidding farewell to Yuan Shao, he immediately went to look for help. Naturally, the first thing he would do was go to Situ's mansion and look for his father if he needed help.
When they met in Situ Mansion, the two were no longer father and son.
"Your Majesty, Sikong, pretended to obey Cao Zhi and pay homage to Duke Situ. This time, he came to see Duke Situ because there was a vacancy under his command!"
"Well... I understand. You can go find Chief Shi Zhuge Jin and he will help you."
After Liu Ba entered Jimin Terrace, the tense atmosphere in the temple eased. The main reason was that Liu Ba took away Ding Dace from Guo Jia. As the chief official of Jimin Terrace, this matter should be caused by
He came to execute it, and Guo Jia had no intention of objecting. He was almost exhausted by these things. After solving the matter, he took over the matter of family appraisal from Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was not in a hurry to think about it.
He also helped Yuan Shao share some of the next government decree.
The officials of the East Palace, Fazheng and Pang Tong, returned to Luoyang in advance. Following the prince's order, they immediately went to help Sikong Yuan Shao and start issuing coins.
Even so, Yuan Shao was very busy and could not relax for a day.
Until the end of the Xiping year, Yuan Shao began to issue coins on a large scale. The issuance of coins was mainly issued through salary and Jimin Mansion. So much money suddenly appeared in the treasury, which made Yuan Shao a little confused. He didn't know
, what will happen if such a large amount of money flows into the world? However, he has no fear in his heart. If it fails, the worst he can do is go to jail and bear everything!
During this period, a big event happened.
The jailer in Tingwei Prison impeached Tingwei Huang Wan in real name. He said that when he was in Tingwei Prison, he saw many businessmen bribing officials, and some even directly bribed Tingwei Huang Wan to escape. He recommended Tingwei Huang Wan.
Wei Huang Wan took bribes and released criminals, which naturally caused a lot of turmoil. You must know that Huang Wan was a famous official in the court and a famous person in the world. How could he do such a behavior?
Zhang Fei, Zhang He, and even Hua Xiong all participated in the investigation of this matter.
After investigation, they found that officials in Tingwei did indeed accept bribes, and there were indeed cases where criminals escaped. However, Huang Wan denied that he had accepted bribes and said he had no knowledge of the matter. As a result, in the courtyard outside Huang Wan City There, a huge amount of coins and stolen goods were discovered, and Huang Wan was immediately imprisoned.
Huang Wan could not defend himself and stayed in prison, crying all day long.
"Huang Tingwei, are you still okay?"
Huang Wan was waiting in the prison, and a young man was standing outside the prison. He didn't know when he appeared.
Huang Wan looked at him blankly and asked, "Do I recognize you?"
"Your Majesty may have forgotten me, but I still remember the humiliation you gave me."
"You!! It's you!!! It's you who framed me!!!" Huang Wan pointed at the young man in front of him, his whole body trembling.
"Haha, framed? Mr. Huang has reaped all the stolen goods, so how can we talk about framed??"
"Are you helping to mint money?? Yes, it was you who made it...the money..." Only then did Huang Wan understand.
Looking at the tired, inhuman old man in front of him, Fazheng shook his head with pity and said: "Huang Gong, stop thinking about excuses... I said I would destroy your whole family, and I will definitely destroy your whole family. Of course, if you apologize to me, commit suicide, and pass away, I will let your family go... What do you think?"
"I will never bow to a vicious person like you!!!"
"That's such a pity. Your grandchildren are not even ten years old yet and they are about to pass away... Sigh..." Fazheng shook his head and turned to leave. Huang Wan was stunned. After a moment, he suddenly shouted: "The Fa is rectified!!!!!"
"Oh? What does Mr. Huang want??"
Tears suddenly burst from Huang Wan's eyes, and he saluted Fazheng fiercely.
A smile appeared on Fazheng's lips again.
At the end of the 21st year of Xiping, Tingwei Huang Wan accepted a bribe and released the criminal. The crime was so heinous that he committed suicide in prison because of fear of crime.
The emperor was furious and executed his clan, leaving no one alive.
