I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 185 This currency war will no longer stop just because one person says it should.

"Everyone can prove it just now!"

"This is happening!" Li Heng became even more angry. He guided the next work seriously, "Take these two corpses down to feed...oh no, take them down and check them carefully. Be sure to check them carefully!"

"Here!"

After the incident of beating someone to death at the gate of Nashangsi, today's Nashu business was temporarily suspended.

Li Heng went back upstairs and continued eating melon.

Not long after, Zhan Ming was brought up.

"See Mr. Li!" Zhan Ming's face was full of smiles.

At this time, Zhan Ming finally understood that the scene just now was deliberately caused by the person in front of him.

Doesn't this guy know that Liu Yan is real?

he knows!

He did it on purpose!

It's a good move to kill someone with a borrowed sword. After the killing, Zhuge Rong couldn't raise an army to hold him accountable.

"How do you explain it?" Li Heng asked Zhan Ming with a sneer, "That Jiangling chief clerk is fake!"

"it is true!"

"fake!"

"real!"

"Huh?" Li Heng suddenly slapped the melon in his hand on the table and stared at Zhan Ming with sharp eyes. Zhan Ming was startled.

"It's really true!" Zhan Ming said with a bitter look on his face, "Even if I had 10,000 courages, I wouldn't dare to deceive you, Mr. Li!"

"You were present at what happened before. Do you think those businessmen were wrong? Are you saying that everyone was wrong?"

"Where have they ever seen Chief Jiangling!"

Zhan Ming's voice was hoarse, and it was a hot day, and he was sweating all over.

Does this guy really not believe that Liu Yan is the real chief secretary of Jiangling?

Li Heng said in surprise: "You mean, Liu Yan is really the chief secretary of Jiangling?"

"It's true!"

Li Heng took a deep breath and said, "Are you serious?"

"Even if I have 10,000 guts, I wouldn't dare to lie to you!"

"Then they..."

"None of them have seen it!"

Li Heng pretended to think for a moment and then said: "He is dead now, what do you think we should do?"

The problem was thrown to Zhan Ming again.

Zhan Ming was full of bitterness and had nowhere to pour it. He found that this Li Shangshu was young and was best at one thing: giving people difficult problems!

"They were all beaten to death by those unruly people. Li Shangshu respected Liu Yan extremely! He even promised him to go out and tell the businessmen clearly that Li Shangshu's attitude towards the trade between the two countries is clearly visible to me! Li Shangshu is a righteous man!"

Zhan Ming said a series of words.

For a moment, he himself couldn't figure out whether Li Heng really didn't know or whether he was pretending not to know.

Li Heng suddenly said: "Let's stop this matter now. You arrange for someone to buy salt."

"Ok?"

"What, no more?"

"I want it! But don't I have to queue up?"

"That's them!"

Zhan Ming was stunned, and immediately said loudly: "Mr. Li is my reborn parent! Please accept my prayers!"

"Go down!"

"I'll resign!"

After Zhan Ming left, Ma Yong asked: "Li Gong really doesn't know whether Liu Yan is true or false?"

Li Heng glanced at Ma Yong and said, "Didn't I tell you? It's a lie."

Ma Yong was stunned, and it took him a long time to react.

Then I began to be shocked that Li Heng was really impeccable in his work.

First of all, Li Heng must know that Liu Yan is true.

Secondly, Li Heng asked Ma Yong to kill Liu Yan, with the obvious purpose of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

In the end, Li Heng pretended not to know in front of Zhan Ming because Zhan Ming was a double agent, and all the details of today would be passed to Zhuge Rong in a few days.

Zhuge Rong might have heard that Li Heng really didn't know Liu Yan's identity.

This made it impossible for Zhuge Rong to guess Li Heng's true motives. In the end, Zhuge Rong couldn't even find any reason to raise an army to investigate the crime.

Zhuge Rong can only admit defeat, but as for revenge?

Then let him find his own businessman to take revenge!

But it is estimated that Zhuge Rong will not have time to retaliate by then, because the currency war between Han and Wu has already begun.

The currency war between Han and Wu will definitely be more cruel than the currency war between Han and Wei in the early stage.

Because Wei's current monetary policy is flat, it will take time for Shu money to have an impact on Wei.

But Wu Guo didn't feel any pain.

Ma Yong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that he was in Longyou at that time, so he surrendered!

In the next few days, everything in Nashangsi went smoothly.

As for those who beat people before, after they were arrested and severely criticized, on a dark and windy night, the jailer suddenly drank himself unconscious.

As a result, a group of people escaped from prison.

In the end, maybe someone was unlucky. About three people didn't escape, and they were designated as murderers.

Of course, no one paid any attention to this matter.

People are concerned about how much salt the Han Dynasty will produce now and how much coins it will reserve.

On August 25th, the headline of the "Jiangzhou Free Trade City Newspaper" clearly stated the court's strategy for salt introduction: one million kilograms of salt will be invested in Jiangzhou this year.

This undoubtedly caused a huge sensation in the free trade city. Early that morning, the newspaper was sold out, and the newspaper staff kept copying the newspaper.

Jiangzhou has become the trade center of Han and Wu countries, and has become a favorite that touches the hearts of countless people.

At the same time, it also became a place where the big interest groups behind the Han and Wu countries competed with each other.

Jiangzhou Free Trade City has risen rapidly in just one year.

But people still have one question: Is there enough money?

According to the current inflation of Shu money, grain is worth ten thousand yuan per stone.

One stone of grain is exchanged for one pound of salt, and one pound of salt costs ten thousand dollars.

One million kilograms of salt requires 10 billion yuan.

According to the latest currency rules promulgated by the Chengdu court this year, one thousand qian is equal to one thousand yuan.

Ten billion yuan is about 1000 million yuan.

This number is quite scary. The annual tax revenue of the Eastern Han Dynasty was only about 40 billion.

If compared vertically in the future, during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, during the three years of Li Longji's Tianbao reign, Datang's tax revenue was approximately 1100 million yuan.

So what actually happens?

History cannot be compared vertically.

It is even more impossible to compare straight money with the currencies of the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Because it is not a concept at all.

Each coin of Zhibai money is printed with "hundred", which means that one coin is used as one hundred coins.

In the Tang and Song Dynasties, one coin was one penny.

So the consistency here is actually only ten coins, one hundred coins, a total of one thousand coins.

Such a large amount of money is bound to be subject to possible inflation.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhuge Rong sent Liu Yan to strongly resist Shu money.

Since it is terrible inflation, naturally there is no comparison between the 1000 million guan here and the 1100 million guan that allowed the Tang Dynasty to prosper.

The 1100 million guan here may only have less than one-tenth of the purchasing power of the million guan in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Then the question comes back to the actual situation.

1000 million yuan, is it really there?

Ten million coins, that is, 100 billion coins, how many coins is it?

About 100 million coins.

Do you have this amount of money?

Certainly not!

After all, the new money-making technology only started this year, and the only copper resources Li Heng can mobilize currently are in Yizhou.

So what to do?

it's actually really easy!

Wu businessmen have begun to mint money for Li Heng!

The initiator of this currency war is Li Heng, but the promoters are the interest groups of the two countries.
