I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 313 Da Wei Pills
"The money supervisor of Shangluo can now make 10 million coins a day, the money supervisor of Pingyang County can make 50 million coins a day, and the money supervisor of Luoyang can now make 10 million coins a day! The money supervisor of Hanoi County can make 20 million coins a day. Ten million dollars!”

Deng Yang had dense smile lines on his face and grinned wildly.

Cao Shuang nodded with great satisfaction.

According to Deng Yang, these money supervisors can produce 90 million yuan every day, and 90 million yuan is equivalent to 90,000 yuan.

It can produce 2.7 million strings in a month.

Of course, these are Han money, which is straight money.

Calculated in non-direct money, it should be 32.4 guan, which is guan per year.

At the peak of Emperor Xuanzong's reign, the Tang Dynasty minted 43 copper coins a year.

And these money supervisors that Deng Yang reported to Cao Shuang at this time were only part of the money supervisors in Wei State.

Shangluo is in the Guanzhong area, Pingyang County is next to Shangdang County, Luoyang needless to say, Hanoi County is near Luoyang.

"We haven't reported yet," Deng Yang said, "but the official estimates that at least 90 million coins can be minted this year."

"No." Deng Yang immediately shook his head.

"Xiaguan was promoted by the general. Xiaguan would never dare to do such a thing! Xiaguan has been sending people to keep an eye on Sima Yi. Sima Yi spends all day writing and reading at home, and then plays chess with his son. He will not be involved in anything."

Cao Shuang also had a smile on his face. Now he has half of Cao Wei's new salt sales. After getting the goods from Jingzhou, they will be sent directly to several central areas by various caravans.

Deng Yang couldn't help but laugh and said: "We already have 50 million yuan in our hands, and another 20 million yuan will be shipped back next month. In the final season, we can still make 80 million yuan."

The reason is also very simple. A large number of urgently needed commodities poured into Cao Wei. After the new salt was linked to copper coins and Han coins, Cao Wei had strong internal motivation to mint money.

"Can you sell all the salt?" Cao Shuang asked, "Is there money everywhere?"

Therefore, according to the figures reported by Deng Yang, Cao Wei's current rate of coining money is higher than that of Tang Xuanzong.

Although there were conflicts between Cao Shuang and the Gongqing noble family in terms of power struggle, they were surprisingly consistent in making money to buy Li Heng's goods.

"These sanctimonious thieves do one thing in front of me and another behind my back!" Cao Shuang spat, "Did Sima Yi mint money in private?"

"How are the other money supervisors doing?"

For example, Xudu, Yecheng, Qingxu and other places.

Cao Shuang glanced at Deng Yang doubtfully and said, "You shouldn't have accepted Sima Yi's benefits, right?"

"Yes, I went to investigate. People are minting money everywhere now. The money supervisors of some wealthy families may not be smaller than us!"

These all belong to the north, and are a small part of it.

"It seems that Sima Yi also knows that he should avoid suspicion." Cao Shuang was very satisfied.

Most of China's real copper mines are located in the south.

"After they were built, they all went south to buy new salt."

"How much did you make?"

A few years ago, Cao Shuang was engaged in the new salt business in Liangzhou and made a lot of money. He has rich experience.

"How much money is left?"

"General, could Sima Yi be pretending on purpose?"

"So what if he is pretending on purpose?" Cao Shuang chuckled, "I know he is pretending on purpose. He is very ambitious, but he is already sixty years old, what else can he do! In a few years, he will be buried Got it!"

On the contrary, Cao Shuang is only in his thirties. Life expectancy was not long in the Three Kingdoms era, and it was common for those at the bottom to die of exhaustion and starvation in their twenties.

Even those at the top may be short-lived, especially the commander-in-chief who leads troops to war. If they work too hard, they may die of illness easily.

People like Cao Cao and Liu Bei who lived into their sixties were already long-lived.

Therefore, from Cao Shuang's perspective, there is absolutely nothing wrong with his idea.

Sima Yi, who is already in his sixties, does not need to focus on guarding against him. After all, Sima Yi has been leading troops to fight all year round, so he must have an underlying disease in his body, right?
It probably only happened in the past few years!

"By the way, the ministers have a lot of objections to you. Wang Su has already scolded you by name, as well as Sun Zi and Liu Fang. They have asked me to remove you from office many times. You should still be cautious on weekdays." After Cao Shuang said something to Deng Yang, he said no more and asked him to retreat.

"Don't worry, General. The subordinates have always restrained themselves and returned to courtesy. Those old stubborns are just disobedient to the General. Sooner or later, we will find an opportunity to deal with them!"

In the second year of Yanxi, there was no war between Han, Wei and Wu. The trade route from Xiangyang to Nanyang was unprecedentedly prosperous, and the trade routes between the Han River and the Yangtze River were also extremely prosperous.

Under the new commercial system, the three countries entered the era of money making.

Of course, it would be too hasty to say that this is the real business era.

This is still the distance from Youzhou to Jiaozhou from the commercial era.

In essence, this commercial trade, which seems to be unprecedentedly prosperous, remains in the upper class for the time being.

The population of the upper class is limited, and the total amount of goods required is limited, which is not enough to turn the entire society into a capital-driven era.

It's just that paper and salt are too special. They are high-frequency consumables, so they are needed continuously.

And because the salt production in Jihan is limited, the big families and businessmen of Cao Wei and Sun Wu are rushing to buy it, and this thing is obviously hard currency, and some people are hoarding it in large quantities.

Entering October, Cao Shuang's wealth was increasing day by day, and Cao Wei's treasury was also rising.

In order to demonstrate the strength of his military and to test his power and prestige, Cao Shuang ordered the full implementation of government troops in Sizhou despite opposition.

Entering November, the court in Luoyang entered a rather strange state.

On the first day of November, Liu Fang waited at the door of Cao Shuang's residence for a long time. Finally, the steward came out and said, "Mr. Liu, the general is ill today."

"You said the same thing a few days ago. Are you still not recovered today?"

"Not healed yet."

"If you go and report it, say we have something important." Sun Zi said.

The person in charge sneered and said, "You two should go back."

Sun Zi and Liu Fang looked at each other and knew that Cao Shuang had deliberately avoided seeing them.

"Farewell!"

Liu Fang and Sun Zi left angrily. On the carriage back, Liu Fang said: "Cao Shuang's people detained all our caravans. I don't believe he doesn't know about this. And I suspect that he instigated this." of!"

Sun Zi sighed and said: "Cao Shuang is a little frivolous, but not stupid. We helped him gain power, so he wouldn't turn his back so quickly. It was his subordinates who detained your caravan. But after he found out, he didn't say anything, which is a slight against us."

"In the past year or so, he has dismissed dozens of officials, and Sizhou's military strength has increased by 80,000. He holds military parades by the Luoshui River every month. Who are you showing him!"

"If Da Wei continues like this, it will be over!"

"Why don't you go find Sima Zhongda?" Sun Zi said suddenly.
