Hearing the slogans that could almost be heard in his ears, Jia Xu sighed slightly in his heart, after today, all this will disappear.
On the Xun Bao, it was written about the harvest of Zheng Guoqu, telling everyone openly and secretly that the Han Dynasty would never be short of food from now on. But why did more farmers lose their land?
Did you charge three to five buckets more?
Low grain hurts farmers!
At first, food was scarce, so the price of food has risen to 100 yuan per kilogram, and in some places it has even risen to 150 yuan per kilogram. At that time, although farmers worked hard, after layers of exploitation, the remaining grain was sold for a little bit.
A few can be exchanged for daily necessities such as vinegar cloth and coarse salt.
Now Guanzhong has had a good harvest again. Over the past year or so, Huang Zixing has worked on five major projects, creating a total of 30 million acres of fertile land.
Among them, 20 million acres are paddy fields, and the remaining 10 million acres are also being worked hard to build water conservancy projects and develop into paddy fields, but at least there is no shortage of water at present.
The result is that these 30 million acres of fertile land can produce at least 10,000,000 shi of grain a year. With so much grain flowing into the market at once, the price of grain has dropped from 100 shi to 30 yen.
.
Therefore, everyone in Luoyang praised him, and when he mentioned He Jinhe, he gave a thumbs up and said that the general and the queen mother were really powerful. They actually lowered the price of rice in Luoyang and made it so cheap.
However, the people of Luoyang are comfortable, but what about the people farming in the countryside?
The land they cultivate has not increased, their harvests have not increased, the exploitation they have suffered has not decreased, and their demand for daily necessities such as vinegar cloth and coarse salt has not decreased.
In the past, you could buy a month's worth of coarse salt by selling a little grain, but now you may have to sell several times the grain.
But where can poor people get so much food?
The Yellow Turban Uprising a few years ago was a rebellion forced by the government and the people!
Nowadays, the government is forcing the people to rebel!
Thinking of the people at the lowest level, Jia Xu sighed again in his heart. Now, how can he have the right to pity those people?
If nothing happens, after today, I will become the ugliest, most shameless, and most heartless villain in history. After today, I will become the mastermind behind the first financial crisis in history.
Thousands of years from now, people will not remember the top families who made the biggest gains during this crisis, because they are the ones who wrote the history books.
People will only say that because of Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe's greed and shamelessness, this person used his understanding of human nature to set a trap and brought down the trading market in the primitive era in one fell swoop.
Jia Xu knew very well that the top aristocratic families were secretly helping each other. If he couldn't even tell that someone was secretly helping and covering up his crimes, it would be a waste of Jia Xu's intelligence.
After some testing, Jia Xu roughly guessed what the mastermind behind the scenes was thinking, but he had no choice.
So, Jia Xu has been showing off since then!
He no longer acted cautiously, but openly walked in and out of the mansions of various wealthy businessmen, powerful and small aristocratic families.
He made up as a businessman from the Western Regions, with big brown waves, a hooked nose, and even his eyeballs turned brown. He also gave himself a pseudonym, Jabs!
Previously, Jia Xu kept a low profile, because he knew that he was cheating money on the territory of the Han Dynasty, and if he was not careful, he would be found out. In addition, because of his famous name in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he would probably die if he was exposed.
Far away.
But since then, Jia Xu has become extremely high-profile, giving frequent speeches in the name of Steve Jobs, such as making us suffocate for our dreams.
With the secret support of all the top aristocratic families, Jia Xu directly raised 3 billion yuan this time, which was more than the 1 billion yuan imagined.
This is actually a signal, a signal sent by the mastermind behind the scenes to Jia Xu: You guy, with so much money, why don't you run away quickly?
If you run away now, you can really run away, and you can really take away the three billion money. If you don't run now, in a few days, you will disappear mysteriously, and the three billion money will also disappear without a trace.
Therefore, Jia Xu ran away openly and openly!
Jabs claimed that he had a big project in Chang'an, and then left Baiyunguan with his servants and beating gongs and drums, taking three billion dollars with him.
If we kill him publicly, then the three billion yuan can be recovered immediately, and then there will be no financial crisis.
It was precisely after seeing this that Jia Xu was confident to run away with the money.
"He is worthy of being a violent man. Before he left, he actually took away 3 billion yuan, and he was so open and above board. Not only can we not stop him, but we also have to make everyone aware of this matter, and even protect him secretly.
Safe. If possible, I really want to rush forward and kill him now. This kind of person is on the opposite side of the court, and every extra day he lives will be a crisis!" A certain noble family member said and gestured with his hands.
"No, we have to wait until he will not be caught by the people of the imperial court before we can detonate this trap, further make people lose confidence in the stock market, and then harvest the world.'
"So what if Jia Wenhe is extremely smart? Even if he sees through everything, so what? He's still just a chess piece.
The sons of the aristocratic family were watching Jia Xu leave, and Liu Bian's advisers were also watching Jia Xu leave.
"Is this really good?" Liu Bian suddenly asked, not knowing what he was thinking of.
"Your Majesty, everything has a price. Nothing in this world can only have advantages and no disadvantages.
"The same goes for the stock market. Since we have enjoyed the benefits of the stock market, we must accept the disadvantages of the stock market.
"In terms of benefits, the imperial court was able to successfully raise funds that were previously unbelievable for various projects, and a large amount of infrastructure was completed in just one and a half years. In the past, there had been frequent public dissatisfaction and the world was in chaos."
As he said this, Xun You thought of the five major projects completed under the leadership of Huang Zixing. The five major projects brought 30 million acres of fertile land. With such a temptation in front of him, which court could refuse? Which official in the court could refuse?
?
Xun Huo and other advisers affiliated with Liu Bian took the opportunity to spend money on Liu Bian's behalf, and frequently used Liu Bian's name to reward those workers who went to work on construction sites to make a living, giving them medicine and food.
Orphanages were even established under the banner of Liu Bian. These orphans will become a powerful force in Liu Bian's hands in the future.
Even the strategists began to recruit school lieutenants, military commanders, military lords, village commanders, and descendants of war orphans to rebuild the Yulin Guards.
In addition, a major road was built from Luoyang to Chang'an, and everyone passing through had to pay a certain amount of tolls to He Jin.
But even so, after the road was built, there was an endless stream of merchants coming and going on it.
In the past year and a half, the Han Dynasty built at least more than 5,000 miles of roads, and these roads were all based on official roads.
In the past year and a half, the government and the private sector have employed at least more than three million people to work.
In terms of war, the imperial court directly recruited 30,000 Sanhe elite cavalry this year, also mobilized several combat barracks from the five schools of the Northern Army, and recruited good family members from six counties, training a total of 80,000 professional troops.
Then Huangfu Song became the marshal and swept across Liangzhou with ease, plowing the city directly. Ma Teng's family is now in Luoyang City, and the grass on Han Sui's grave is now three feet high.
The Qiang issue that has troubled the imperial court for decades will be solved in one fell swoop!
Isn't the reason why it was so smooth that Huang Zixing's farming solved the most difficult and troublesome problem of military rations, allowing the elite army of the imperial court to fight for as long as they wanted?
Fight however you want.
In the words of Huangfu Song: I have never fought such a wealthy battle in the past!
"Your Majesty, all the achievements we have made in the past year and a half would have taken ten or even twenty years in the past.
"This is the benefit we enjoy, and the disadvantage of the stock market is that every once in a while, there will definitely be a crisis." When he mentioned the word crisis, Xun Yu fell silent.
This is the first time in more than a year that Liu Bian has seen Xun You's expression. Even though Emperor Ling died and Liu Bian ascended the throne, Xun You was much more serious, instead of being silent like this.
, and looked a little depressed.
"What are you worried about, teacher?" Liu Bian couldn't help but ask.
"Wen Ruo is worried about the crisis. This stock market is too important to the big man, but the crisis contained in it is also unprecedented. The current situation looks good, but in fact it is a fire cooking oil, flowers blooming, and the world is in chaos if you are not careful.
"Liu Ye said directly.
Liu Bian didn't understand, so he looked at Xun You.
Xun You said: "Today's Baiyunguan trading market has gathered at least 60% of the wealth of the Han Dynasty, including generals, queen mothers, clan children, aristocratic families, powerful men, good family members, wealthy merchants, and even Dong thieves from Hedong, remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and Taishan thieves. Qingzhou
The Yellow Turbans and a series of other rebels also came to Baiyunguan to make money with their money."
"In the past, in order to make money, the court turned a blind eye to these rebels. Now that the crisis has come, the court can only let the rebels take the blame."
What kind of crisis is this? Liu Bian's small eyes contained great doubts. What are you talking about? Can you speak human language? Can you say something I can understand?
Looking at the cute Liu Bian, Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said: "The crisis is actually very simple. In the stock market, some people make money while others lose money, and those who lose money must be resentful and owe more people.
There will be more grievances, and these guys with grievances each have land, land and private soldiers.'
"Not everyone is willing to admit defeat. Once a crisis comes, those good men who have invested all their wealth will either drown themselves in the river or kill their creditors with weapons.
"Those powerful people who have invested most of their wealth or even borrowed money to make money in the stock market, once they lose, they will either go to see the Lord of Taishan together with their whole family, or they will just default on the debt and then use their private armies to rebel against their mother.
"But why is there a crisis? I remember last year when Baiyunguan first opened for trading, it was just a place to raise money for projects. How come it has become like this casino now?" Liu Bian was very puzzled.
Why is this happening?
Logically speaking, shouldn't the stock market be a good place to attract money with good projects, and then work on projects together to make a fortune together?
Why is it now that scammers are running rampant and people are making money everywhere, but there are not many people working on projects and doing real things? What is going on?
"Hehe, they don't want to talk about it, I'm telling you." Cheng Yu was smiling but not smiling, and he looked like he was not easy to mess with.
Unlike Zhou Yuxun or these young heroes, Cheng Yu is almost fifty this year, so he doesn't care whether he offends others or not. He is just a loudspeaker.
"Because it is easy to lose money if you work hard on projects. Not all projects and projects are like Mr. Zixing's project. If you invest 10,000 yuan, you will get at least 100,000 yuan in return.'
“In fact, in most cases, if you invest 10,000 yuan and can get your money back in three to five years, it is considered a high-quality project.
"Then, a small group of smart people discovered that if they worked hard on the project, the money came in too slowly and the returns were too low. Then they invented the word "IPO" and continued to spread false news, using low prices to sell high and short selling to go long.
Come and make money.”
"However, there are even smarter people among smart people. These smarter people discovered that selling low and selling high was also hard work and did not earn much. Then they began to package projects and disguise bad projects as
If you have a very good project, then publicize it everywhere, sell the shares directly when it goes public, make a lot of money, and then package the next project.'
"Currently, there have been as many as twelve cases of this kind of packaging scandal, and the amount of money lost in each case is no less than 5 billion. However, this news has been suppressed and is prohibited from circulation."
"Then, there are smarter and smarter people. These smart people think that the method of finding projects, then telling stories, then packaging the projects, and finally listing them to let the big investors get the bottom of things is really too complicated and troublesome.'
"This group of smart people had an idea and came up with a more complicated and faster way to make money. They called it subprime loans...
"The guys who are involved in subprime loans don't need to work hard to package the project and tell stories. They only need to use their own reputation and the reputation of the court to fool fools to their heart's content, and they can make a lot of money.
"
Hearing this, Liu Bian's little face almost wrinkled up.
"Why doesn't the court take care of it?" Liu Bian asked again.
Cheng Yu smiled coldly: "Care? How to care? Who dares to care?'
"On the surface, the Taoist priests of Baiyunguan are responsible for the stock market transaction fees. In fact, most of them are in the hands of the imperial court. 60% goes to the national treasury, 15% goes to the general's palace, and 15% goes to the Queen Mother's private treasury.
Another 10% went into His Majesty's inner treasury."
"It is the powerful and military forces from all over the world who are selling short and long every day, buying low and selling high, and making fake news to disturb people's hearts. The main source of funds comes from the Northern Army, Sanhe Jingqi, Liujun Liangjiazi, Danyang Soldiers, Taishan Crossbowmen, and Youzhou Breakout
ride
"Your Highness, which one of these armies do you think can be moved at will? At least these armies are still loyal to the court, loyal to the Han, and loyal to His Majesty. They just want money to spend. Could it be that the court can't even satisfy them?
