Chapter 350 Tea Battle Plan

In this way, the military and political aspects are basically dealt with.

Xu Ding then said to the crowd:

"Next, while we are carrying out economic construction, we will implement the tea war plan to further improve the deep processing of our tea industry, form an industrial chain, and benefit all the people under our rule."

He guided the research of the tea-making process a few years ago, and started planting and developing it under his rule, but the scale is limited, so the benefits that can be generated are not too great.

Because it was mainly sold to aristocratic families and princes in the early stage, the consumer groups are limited.

Now that it has reached a large scale, people under the rule of Weiyuan Island and Donglai County have engaged in a large number of tea industry chains, which has increased a lot of employment and extra income, which is beneficial to the recovery of the economy and rapid development.

Therefore, low-end tea can be oriented to the common people.

At the same time, it was trafficked to the grassland tribes to obtain the corresponding horses, forming a seemingly mutually beneficial relationship, but it was actually Weiyuan Island's tea war plan.

Tea is a necessity of life for nomads, because their daily diet is mainly milk and meat, and they need tea drinks to digest and supplement some vitamins.

Before there was no tea, the grassland tribes in the north would not rely too much on it, but after the popularity of high-end tea in the past few years and the nobles of the grassland tribes, the whole grassland knew the benefits of this thing.

They are all competing to buy, regardless of the price.

So Weiyuan Island and Donglai really make money from low-end tea, and they still make money from this group of foreigners.

Developing low-end tea and dumping rough tea can not only exchange for a large number of horses for combat, but also control the grassland tribes in a disguised form, forming a kind of restriction.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, such measures were taken and achieved good results.

In particular, the Qing Dynasty controlled Tsarist Russia in the early stages by controlling the tea leaves on the tea road. Not only did it earn a lot of money from Tsarist Russia to fill financial expenditures, it also stabilized the northern frontier.

Now Xu Ding also relies on low-end tea to benefit the people under the rule in large quantities and make them rich for a long time, so it is also an economic means that kills two birds with one stone.

"Don't worry, my lord. We have been encouraging the common people to grow tea on land that is not conducive to the growth of crops. Now that we have a sufficient planting scale, the government will purchase and sell tea in a unified way to ensure that the common people will get benefits." Xi Zhicai stood up. Said.

In fact, Xu Ding has always supported the trade with the grassland. Except for the restrictions on salt, iron and weapons, other daily consumables are sold as much as they can.

At the same time as the horses were changed, a large number of cattle were also replaced. These cattle can be transformed into farming cattle after training. With farming cattle, the efficiency of agricultural production has been greatly improved.

"If you earn money, you have to spend it. Now we will spend all our money. Facing the major states and counties, try to buy me all kinds of food, clothing, clothing and various strategic materials. Anyone who can buy Buy everything that arrives.

Don't be afraid to spend money, it is to make money alive, and vigorously purchase, it is to let the people in the world know that our place is a paradise, our place is rich, and it is a place that everyone yearns for, you understand. "Xu Ding gave new instructions to his subordinates:
"Spend me vigorously, and at the same time, send all the old coins we received back to Weiyuan Island, and don't let them circulate on the market."

Although Xu Ding has countless brass and can mint countless new coins, he didn't spend money indiscriminately, but just replaced the equivalent amount of old coins with new coins to complete the purchasing power.

Although he doesn't know much about economics, he also understands the consequences of printing money indiscriminately.

More money depreciates.

In the end, it is the people who are the worst.

Therefore, even though he bought and minted coins in a big way, he was planning and using them in a limited way.

In this way, although prices will rise for a certain period of time, it will not destroy his reputation.

After all, he wanted the new coins to replace the old ones and obtain the right to mint coins, but he couldn't ruin himself, right?

So soon, Xu Ding's purchasing caravan traveled from Youzhou to Jizhou, from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, from Jingzhou to Yizhou, and from Xuzhou to Yangzhou.

It was a very happy purchase, and I spent a lot of money like a cracker.

All payments are in SGD at the time of settlement.

At the beginning, many people still doubted whether the brand-new new coins, which shone like gold, were fake.

However, after weighing the weight, they all readily accepted it, saying that they wanted as much of this new currency as they had, even if it was a little higher than the exchange rate on the market.

New coins made of brass are heavier than regular old coins.

The old coins contain more impurities, and the new coins are more beautiful and bright in color, making them more popular.

"Hahaha, collect it for me, collect the promised new coins, and after collecting them, melt them all and mint them into old coins, and then exchange them for new coins."

After Yuan Shu heard that Xu Ding was using a large amount of new coins, he immediately discovered the business opportunity and ordered his subordinates to collect a large amount of Xu Ding's new coins.

Yuan Shu's rule was the wealthiest of all.

Nanyang and Runan alone have a dense population, fertile land, and countless agricultural products, such as grain and cloth.

Therefore, it is also the state and county that Xu Ding focuses on purchasing.

Now Yuan Shu not only has Runan and Nanyang, but also Chen Guo, Liang Guo, Yingchuan and other counties, and almost the entire Yuzhou belongs to him.

It was not only Yuan Shu who issued this order, but Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao in the north, Liu Biao, Liu Yao, and Sun Jian in the south.

Liu Yan and Zhang Lu in Yizhou in the west, Jiaohe, Liu Dai and other prefectures and counties nearby, whether at the government level or major aristocratic families, quietly collected the new coins, and then remelted them into old coins.

Yanzhou East County!

Cao Cao's place!
"Tell me, should we collect the new coins produced by Bokang, melt them down and turn them into old coins!"

Cao Cao was also moved when he saw the new coins, but he was suspicious and didn't dare to take it lightly.

Chen Guandao: "It's better not to, the new coins are beautifully made, stronger and more conducive to circulation, curb the flooding of old coins, and crack down on the lack of money caused by private minting, and the more new coins you hold, the more beneficial The economy is stable, and the Marquis of Weihai's detriment to others is a great good, and we must not add insult to injury."

From Chen Gong's point of view, although Xu Ding was minted privately, his new coin has a bit more weight.

This is a typical measure to do good deeds and stabilize the Han economy.

Look at the extent to which the coins have depreciated due to the wars of the big man over the years.

With this kind of new currency, it can alleviate the depreciation and stabilize the economy, so that the people will not suffer.

Chen Gong spoke too bluntly, Cao Cao looked at Cheng Shu, his other counselor, and asked, "What do you think, Wei An?"

Cheng Shudao: "What Gongtai said is reasonable. In my opinion, the Marquis of Weihai is not a good person. His wisdom is like a monster. He is unlikely to do such stupid things. If you think about it, there is another way. Anyway, we have a small land under our control and we have little money and food. It’s not abundant, so let’s sit and watch the situation in the world.”

A light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes when he heard this, yes, with Xu Ding's intellect, I'm afraid there is something they haven't seen through.

Anyway, Cao Cao didn't have much money, and there were not many new coins in circulation under his rule, and it wouldn't add much money if he melted and minted new coins.

The fundamental way is to make the people under the rule rich and prosperous.
