Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2189

Yiji was a little distressed.

This distress is not his own, but given by others.The problem lies in this other person, making him unable to refuse...

Is Han Emperor Liu Xie so easy to see?Is it a good thing to see you?
But Yiji had to see him.

Knowing that you can't do it, or that you shouldn't do it, but you have to do it anyway, this may be a world without fairy tales, either you don't want to do it, or you don't have to do it.

Yiji looked up at the high platform.

The high platform in the Han Dynasty is like what is often seen in later generations of film and television dramas. It is square and square, like a lighthouse. The lower half is a high and often trapezoidal earth platform, with blue bricks as the outside, and then there are red pillars and railings on the top. , the top is dark brown tiles...

For some unknown reason, Yi Ji seemed to think of something suddenly, his eyebrows twitched, and then he quickly lowered his head.

Xiaohuangmen stepped off the high platform in a hurry, expressing His Majesty's invitation.

Yiji could only follow the little yellow gate, step up, and then reach the top floor to greet Liu Xie.

Although the wind is not very strong today, there is still some, and on the high platform, it is blowing around, making the sound seem to be swaying with the wind.

After a few pleasantries, after the process.

"Aiqing will accompany Xuzhou? ’ Liu Xie asked.

Yiji nodded yes.

Originally, Yiji thought that if Liu Qi could not get anything, then he could help as much as his family could, but now Liu Qi has obtained the position of governor of Xuzhou again, and it is also an edict from the imperial court. When the position of Biejia, governor of Xuzhou, was placed in front of Yiji, Yiji was naturally very popular.

Where can I go for a meal?
Liu Qi is more or less an old relationship, and they know each other better, and if they change to other places, it might not be much better...

So in the end Yiji decided to go to Xuzhou with Liu Qi, but he didn't expect to be invited to the high platform by Liu Xie before leaving.

"In the past, when I heard Ji Zha's music and Gongwei's songs "Zhou Nan" and "Zhao Nan", I said that the foundation was the beginning, but I worked hard without complaining. I also heard "Bei", "Yuan" and "Wei", and I said Those who are worried but not sleepy are also the same in "Xiaoya" and "Daya". To get the joys of various places is like the son of seasons, with a lot of experience... I live in the palace all the year round, I don't know the local customs, and I don't know how the joys of various places are?Therefore, I specially invite Aiqing to come here, and I will trouble you to explain a few things in detail, so as to clear up my confusion...』

Music is a thing that follows the times.

Therefore, if you say something like "sister sits on the bedside" or "go to Qianjin" during the period of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, I am afraid that you will not be beaten into foam on the spot, or you will be sprayed into a sieve...

After the Han Dynasty, the ancient music actually no longer had any market. It was only played at royal sacrifices and grand ceremonies. Coupled with the wars in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, many pieces of music were also lost. By the time of the Han Dynasty, it was The rearrangement may not be able to fully restore the ancient movements.

Yiji cupped his hands and said, "How dare I compare myself with Yanling Jizi..."

At this moment, Yi Ji really wished he could travel back and give his former self a few big mouths.

Yiji has a sub-profession, which is celebrity.

Naturally, it is impossible for celebrities to understand the etiquette and music, and in addition to running around in Xu County for Liu Qi's affairs, they had to stick to their faces to make connections everywhere, eat and drink, so of course there must be some packaging, this "Ji Zha" Guanle, of course, was one of the packages of Yiji at that time.

After all, not everyone in the Han Dynasty can be like Yi Ji, running around from Lu to Jingzhou, then from Jingzhou to Sichuan, then from Sichuan to Guanzhong, and then from Guanzhong to Yuzhou Yingchuan...

Traveling thousands of miles, of course, has the scenery of thousands of miles, which naturally became Yiji's capital to brag about himself, but Yiji never thought that his bragging would fall into Liu Xie's ears, and then he was invited by Liu Xie Let's talk about the "rituals and music" of various places...

Is this really Liu Xie's desire to understand the rituals and music of various places?
Obviously not.

Because on the surface Ji Zha is about viewing music, but in fact it is not purely talking about rites and music, and Yiji can't say anything clearly. After all, what the emperor Liu Xie asked is ceremonies and music on the surface...

"I was born in Yan, and later went to Jingzhou," Yiji said, "Jingzhou's music is close to Chu. Chu's music is mixed, and the music is beautiful when it is loud. It is like Song Yu's answer to the king of Chu, and there are songs in Ying. Those in the middle, whose beginnings are called "Xiali" and "Baren", there are thousands of people in the middle of the country.It is "Yang'a" and "Xielu", and there are hundreds of people in the middle school.It is called "Yangchun" and "White Snow", even if it is rare...』

Liu Xie frowned slightly, then pondered for a long time, then nodded, "What about Sichuan and Shu?" 』

Yiji bowed his head and replied, "Sichuan and Shu have no etiquette and music, and they are all passed down in the Central Plains. Therefore, Qin Qiang's is Qin Yuesheng, and Han Qiang is Han Yuesheng..."

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows slightly, "What about Guanzhong?" 』

Yi Ji's answer became shorter and shorter, "The music in Guanzhong, the sound of booming, the music of clanging, the music of many Qiang and Hu..."

Then, gone.

"The song of Qiang and Hu? ”Liu Xie pondered for a moment, then asked, “How does Ai Qing view the rituals and music in Yuzhou?” 』

Yiji simply said: "I have not been here for a long time, so how can I speak nonsense?" 』

Liu Xie took a breath and nodded slightly, "Minzu only knows the rituals and music. Now that the world is chaotic, the rituals and music are lacking... Aiqing is going to Xuzhou now, so you might as well pay more attention to the music in Xuzhou. If you get something, you might as well go to it." to express...'

Yi Ji rolled his eyes, then nodded and said yes, "I obey..."

Liu Xie smiled, and then asked him some other questions, such as the landscape and food in Jingzhou, the Shanzhai village in Sichuan, etc., as if he was asking out of pure curiosity, and then Yi Ji picked it up Some strange things were told to Liu Xie, and the sound of talking and laughing between the monarch and his ministers floated up and down the stage with the wind...

...(￢￢￢)? ...

"That's all? 』

Cao Cao asked while pinching the transcript in his hand.

The people under the seat lowered their heads, "That's all. 』

"Understood..." Cao Cao waved his hand, "Back off..."

Not long after Yi Ji left the palace, the records of Liu Xie's conversation with him were handed over to Cao Cao's desk.

Cao Cao mused over this record for a long time, then suddenly smiled, "Huh... the joy of Yuzhou, the joy of Xuzhou, the ritual music, the ritual music, the ritual music, the ritual music, the rude music, the ritual music, the people's feet know the ritual music, ha ha, if the people Not enough...」

Cao Hong sat aside and said, "It's better to go halfway..."

Cao Cao thought for a while, shook his head, and then smiled, "No, it's arousing suspicion... What's more, the place of Mount Tai... will be decided after all..."

"Zi Lian, how do you see the law in Guanzhong?" ”Cao Cao put the notes in his hands aside, but asked the previous question, “Pull rides cool law, hunts down rebellious households, confiscates family assets, and uses them to fill Lantian...a person who thought Jingzhou was able to The economy in Guanzhong has been dragged down, but it has never been thought of as a tactic to make up for the deficiency. Instead, it will add more wings to it... a certain mistake...』

Cao Cao said that he made a mistake, but in fact, what Fei Qian did seemed to open a window for Cao Cao.Originally, Cao Cao wanted to open the window, but he was dragged away by everyone, and someone even ran into Cao Cao's death on the spot, but Cao Cao didn't dare to open it at that time...

Looking from the side now, Fei Qian actually poked open such a large window. Isn't this what Cao Cao wanted to do before, but failed?Seeing Fei Qian doing it happily, Cao Cao suddenly felt that the things he thought were so terrible before didn't seem so terrible?Since others can do it and Fei Qian is doing it, can I copy it myself?
In the entire Cao family, the one who knows a little bit about economics is Cao Hong.

A tall man picked out of a short man.

Cao Hong frowned, unable to make a decision for a moment.

A penny is difficult for a hero, not to mention that it is not just a penny.

Although it is said that Cao Cao's economy is better than in history because he followed the copying operations all the way. After all, following Feiqian to farm is equivalent to advancing the time of farming in history, but farming only guarantees food, but other commodities...

Cao Cao's economy has always been poor, otherwise Cao Cao would not have been involved in those "unclean gold", and naturally he would not be known as the patriarch of "Mo Jin Xiaowei".

As for Cao Cao's advisers, those with a little economic sense just wanted to make money for themselves, just like Xu You who had been beheaded before, the rest who could consider for Cao Cao basically didn't understand what economics is...

Xun Yu and Guo Jia may be able to give Cao Cao some advice in terms of strategy, but neither of them has any good ideas for economics, and they are even worse than Sima Yi in historical records.Of course, this may also be a mindless bragging about Sima Yi after Sima took office.

In fact, it was not Cao Cao's patent to carry out the activity of touching gold. Before Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo had done this on a large scale.

When Dong Zhuo squandered money wantonly, bought and rewarded his subordinates, and successfully became Dong Taishi to come to power, coupled with the increasingly frequent military operations of Dong Zhuo's army, the financial situation within Dong Zhuo's group became increasingly worrying, especially after severing relations with the Shandong gentry. Without the source of Shandong's taxation, Dong Zhuo was also unable to support the huge military expenditure, so he had to think about the dead man's idea.

In order to alleviate the financial crisis, Dong Zhuo did three small things, one of which was to dig tombs, "and Lv Bu distributed the tombs of the emperors and the tombs of the ministers to collect their treasures." 』Then the tombs of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and others were dug up again. Of course, it was not the first time that those tombs were dug up, so there was no obvious relief.

So Dong Zhuo did the second thing, which was to "spoil five baht coins and mint small coins, collecting all Chang'an and Luoyang Tongren Fei Lian's belongings to fill the drums." 』As a result, Dong Zhuo didn’t understand economics after all, so he and Li Ru simply wanted to solve the problem of money shortage, but they didn’t expect that they helped Fei Qian to accumulate and pave the way for economic wealth in the early stage...

Then Dong Zhuo did the third thing, "Dong Zhuo took all the wealthy families, punished them for their crimes, confiscated their belongings, and the dead are invincible..."

When digging the tombs of the royal family and ministers of the Han Dynasty, the rich gentry pretended not to see them, and even bought some good unearthed goods with a smile, otherwise where would those things go?Ordinary people don't need those gold thread clothes and jade wishes at all...

Changing the five baht coin, the rich gentry also criticized it harshly, and then secretly minted small coins, even on a larger scale than Dong Zhuo, to take advantage of the opportunity...

Only when Dong Zhuo started to move these "rich houses", these people screamed and colluded with each other, and immediately formed a surging anti-Dong alliance...

So Cao Cao learned Dong Zhuo's lesson.

grave digging.

no problem.

Everyone knows, but no one says anything.

It's not like Cao Cao never thought about minting small coins, but this road was blocked by Fei Qian.At present, the five baht money has been abolished, and basically no one uses it, but it is cast into Zhengxi money, or hussar money, which can still be used, but the cost is too high. It basically costs 120 yuan to cast a hundred yuan, or even The cost of 150 money, naturally no one is willing to do it.

As for the five baht money, people in Jiangdong and even the barbarians in the desert have already begun to refuse to accept it. Everyone is only willing to collect Xiqian money and hussar money. No one wants five baht money, not even Cao Cao dares to force it Said to use five baht coins...

In history, Cao Cao ordered the use of five baht coins nationwide again, 17 years after Dong Zhuo corrupted five baht coins, Cao Cao became prime minister at that time, "So let it go, and use five baht coins again. 』

the result...

Hehe, it caused the national economy to collapse more and more, and had to order again not to use five baht coins, but to use grain and cloth as general equivalents.

Can barter solve the problem?It can't be, "In Emperor Ming's time, money wasted and the grain was used for a long time, and there were more and more tricks and fakes in the world, so Shigu used it for profit and made thin silk as a market. Although it was severely punished, it could not be banned." 』There are gangs that pour water into food and weave ultra-thin fabrics in the market, and no matter how they are banned, it will not help...

But now, because Feiqian's Zhengxi money and hussars money have increased the cost of minting coins, so ordinary people want to mint coins, which is a loss in itself, and five baht coins are almost worthless in Feiqian territory, because the reason is very simple , there is no need for five baht in Fiqian, so it loses its legal price, and can only go according to the actual weight of the metal value, which makes the currency in Fiqian actually belong to the export...

If it is said that among the big men, everyone outside of Feiqian does not buy Feiqian's products, then Feiqian's currency will be melted in large quantities and recast into other money, so that Feiqian cannot guarantee the currency's security. Circulation, but here lies the problem, the goods in Feiqian's territory are too fragrant.

Cao Cao can not want any luxury items, but he can't do without the war horses produced in Feiqian's territory, and he can't do without those fine steel armor and weapons. He even wants to smuggle them...

So since Cao Cao couldn't refuse, how could the ordinary gentry children under Cao Cao's rule refuse?
Really fragrant.

It's a verb, it's an adjective, it's a noun.

Historically, the products of the State of Wei relied on war horses, while Brother Zhu relied on monopolizing the salt and iron in Sichuan and Shu, and then encouraged Sangzi to spread Shu brocade throughout the world. As a result, "During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei was based in Shu, and Wu also invested in the west", so that Brother Zhu had the capital to fight against Wei...

As for Emperor Wu?
Our lovely Emperor Wu naturally did worse than anyone else.

When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu governed Jiangdong, they "cast the mountain into copper, boil the sea into salt, and the territory is rich". Then this kind of opening came into my hands, which is "Daquan Wubai", which is five times larger than Liu Bei's. !No way, I said, he just likes big ones!

Therefore, in terms of the economic system, Fei Qian alone really beat all the current big men...

Even because the Zhengxi money is not enough, the raw materials can only be exchanged for various commodities in Guanzhong, such as glue, lacquer, hemp, horn, salt, sugar, etc., and even copper...

And then lose more and more...

Cao Cao just vaguely felt that this was not good, and began to think about why this happened, but he obviously couldn't understand why it happened. He didn't know what a scissors difference was, and he didn't know what a foreign exchange war was, but Cao Cao knew that if Cao Cao or something else Once a person expresses that he does not use Feiqian's coins and uses five baht coins instead, all the privately minted five baht coins in the world, no matter good or bad, will all flow to him...

Therefore, Cao Cao can only continue to use Zhengxi money, so although Cao Cao has obtained more food and grass in the fields, he is still poor.Cao Cao was so poor that his eyeballs turned green and he really wanted to make money. He even asked Xun Yu and Guo Jia to find something that could compete with Fei Qian's products.

Then the ideal is naturally Yu Mikami...

cough cough.

The reality is like a flower.

In the end, it seemed that the only way left to make money quickly was to engage in big business.

Watching Fei Qian kill a group of big households in Sanfu, Guanzhong, and then feed the [-] refugees in Lantian, Cao Cao couldn't help but flow down.

Before Cao Cao was in Qinghe, Jizhou, the strong resistance shown by the gentry in Jizhou made Cao Cao afraid that he would become the second Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao finally gave up and endured...

Then write it down in a notebook.

Uncle can bear it, aunt can't bear it.

Now, Cao Cao dug out the small book again, put his hips on his hips and laughed, "Today I change my surname to Wang!" 』

Of course Cao Hong knew Cao Cao's predicament, and could understand the problems Cao Cao was facing now, but if he really wanted to attack the big family...

Cao Hong squeezed his beard and pondered for a long time before saying, "It should be done with righteousness..." Cao Hong believed that Fei Qian's success was because Fei Qian had a name, so if Cao Cao wanted to If you want to become a big family, you have to find a name like Fei Qian, and you can't just recruit like before...

Cao Cao nodded slowly.

Before going through the front door and working on the front, the gentry in Jizhou resisted violently, it didn’t work, and it didn’t work out, so now we should go through the back door and work on the back.

In a blink of an eye, Cao Cao saw the "transcript" that he had put aside. Suddenly, he picked it up again and pushed it forward. 』
