In this era, Duan Ye knew very clearly that shrewd people would never accept using banknotes as currency. Even if you have millions of troops pushing them with a knife, you can't do it.
The only way is to let them know that this thing can be exchanged for gold, and can be exchanged at any time, and it is guaranteed not to depreciate. After all, the people still recognize gold.
If you are not at ease, you can exchange gold at any time and protect it with the reputation of the government. Only in this way can paper money be promoted
But in fact, the secret is that you really take out a sum of gold and tell the people that if you are not at ease, you can exchange it. In fact, there will be not many people who will exchange it. Most of the banknotes can be easily circulated, and Duan Ye can still collect a large amount of coin tax.
In this way, Duan Ye can use this to accumulate the most wealth in the world! More importantly, Duan Ye can use this to obtain the right to issue currency!
Others don't know, but Duan Ye knows that whoever has the right to issue currency will have the real power. Now it is because there is no banknote system, so everything is determined by military strength. But Duan Ye knows that this terrible monster has not been released yet. Once released, nothing can defeat it.
The development of things is moving little by little as Duan Ye expected. After careful exploration, although the development cost is slightly higher, it is indeed a rich mine.
Duan Ye immediately issued an instruction, asking for money and people to give it to him at all costs, and even recruiting 10,000 people from veterans to Jiuquan to specialize in the metallurgy industry.
All Duan Ye wants is to dig out the gold as quickly as possible!
Of course, before this, Duan Ye did not forget to issue an order: In Liangzhou, all gold and silver minerals belong to the governor's office.
In fact, this is a bit rogue. In theory, whoever discovers it should belong to whom. However, in the past, Liangzhou has always been considered to have no gold mines, otherwise it would have been dug up long ago. All Duan Ye issued such an order, but not many people actually cared about it. But after the news of finding the gold mine was spread, everyone knew what the governor intended.
However, Duan Ye also knew that this little drizzle was not enough at all. Duan Ye still hoped for the Murong family. They had more gold, but nothing else was there.
Fortunately, the good news came soon. Murong Nong had been back for a while. Duan Ye still received a reply from Murong Nong at this time, and of course there was also an envoy.
In fact, the result is very simple. Murong Chui agreed to Duan Ye's conditions and the first batch of gold will arrive soon.
Duan Ye estimated the number and thought it was almost enough to start.
Of course, the price is that there is a shortage of grain in Hebei now, and Duanye must transfer considerable grain in exchange
In fact, many people are opposed. After all, Murong Chui will definitely be the one who Duan Ye needs to be a key person to prevent in the future. Now he is facing a shortage of food, and it happens that internal unstable, so he should not be given food.
However, Duan Ye firmly stated that he must support Murong Chui at this time. This little grain, compared with this gold, is too insignificant.
Moreover, Duan Ye confidently told his subordinates that Murong Chui was definitely not a problem.
...
On the vast grassland in the clouds, a horse team was slowly advancing. The bell kept thinking, the people riding on the horse, when they saw the costumes, they were Xianbei nobles.
The leader is the noble Bayintu. He is a warrior that Tuoba Gui trusts very much. This time, he actually went to the Central Plains to meet Murong Chui as usual, and brought Tuoba Gui's greetings and gifts.
The Tuoba tribe and the Murong family have always had a good relationship. In addition, after the rise of the Qin Dynasty, both of them had blood feuds with the Di people. Although they have been restored, they have not yet been able to overthrow the Di people, so they have formed an alliance now.
In terms of seniority and age, Tuoba Gui is younger than Murong Chui, but Murong Chui is still willing to make friends on his own initiative and set up a stance on the border, allowing border residents to trade with Dai Guo people. Dai Guo people can exchange their cattle and sheep for tea, grain, pottery and other things they don’t have in the mainland. So in the past two years, Dai Guo and the Murong family have a very good relationship.
The last time Tuoba Gui went south, he took a lot of advantage at first, but later Liu Bobo emerged and killed the Iron Cavalry of Tuoba's tribe suffered heavy losses. Now it can be said that he was seriously injured in his vitality. One of the purposes of Bayintu's mission this time was to hope that the King of Dayan Murong Chui could support Daiguo.
Bayintu is actually very happy to hold such a position. Hebei is beautiful and rich, and the girls are also very beautiful, and there is no mention of the food. Every time he goes out, even if he is very cautious, he can get a considerable income. When he goes back, he can buy a lot of things for his wives and concubines.
Aegel, the assistant beside him, said: "Sir Bayintu, we will enter the Great Wall tomorrow and enter the Han people's territory."
"Well" Bayintu nodded, "Tell brothers, cheer up! Our children on the grassland cannot be embarrassed when they reach the ground of the Han people!"
"yes!"
"Wait!" Bayintu looked at the front, frowned, and said, "Aegler, look, what's going on in front?"
The men on the grassland all had eagles and falcons, and Eigler soon discovered that there was a team of cavalry in front of him!
"Why are there cavalry flying on the king's grassland?" said Eiglechi
"No, this is a horse thief!" Bayintu was furious and "draw his sword!"
Although Aegler reacted quickly, Bayintu rushed out first, and the warriors behind him were not willing to be outdone and launched a charge. But suddenly, a continuous rain of arrows on the opposite side covered the small group of missions.
Bayintu wanted to rush over and kill them all, but the arrows on the opposite side seemed to be shooting endlessly, one wave after another, and the range was unexpectedly far, which was completely beyond his own understanding.
It was not until there were screams and roars, and even the sun hid in the clouds in fear that the grassland became quiet.
There is already blood on the ground
Duan Ping walked over cautiously, and a nephew of his family beside him said, "Uncle, all dead."
"Well, then follow the plan and let's go!"
"yes!"
Three days later, Tuoba Gui got the news that the mission he sent was about to leave his territory, was attacked by unidentified horse thieves. Everyone, including Bayintu and Aegel, were killed, and the gifts they carried were also taken away. Moreover, the bodies of the warriors were stripped naked, their beards were shaved, and then tied neatly to wooden stakes.
This is humiliation! A great humiliation!
Although Tuoba Gui was young, he was young after all. How could he endure such humiliation?
He wants to take revenge! He wants to make the murderer pay for his blood debt!
However, the murderer seemed very interesting. At the scene, there was a large wooden sign engraved with a few words: Fu Shi, the Duke of Zhongshan of Daqin, killed Xianbei slaves and this!
When the news came back, the whole cloud was boiling! Everyone expressed that even if the morale is low now and even if the people are exhausted, they should give their all their strength to carry their troops south to Taiyuan and seek revenge on Fu Shen!
For the grassland people, it would be fine if they killed people, they would humiliate the corpse, shave off their beards, and leave their names to provoke. This is an unforgivable act!
But Tuoba Gui hesitated at this time
He is different from these people who only have blood and courage. He is the leader of the tribe and the only one. He has a heavy burden on him and cannot lose. If he loses again this time, the Dai Kingdom, which finally recovers the country, may be completely finished.
And this is also very strange
Normally, if you do this, no one will foolishly leave a name for you to take revenge, so Tuoba Gui's first idea was to provoke this matter, and deliberately lure himself to beat Fu Yan.
When Tuoba Gui told everyone about his guess, the angry generals calmed down. After thinking about it for a moment, they all thought it was a conspiracy.
But at this time, someone said, could it be that Fu Shen did it, deliberately leaving his name so that we won’t think about that?
When Tuoba Gui heard this, it made sense. Isn’t this what the Han military strategy says is that it is real, and it is real, and it is real. It makes sense.
The generals nodded one after another. This time they thought it was good, so everyone was confused and began to discuss and even argue. In short, it would be impossible to reach an agreement. Tuoba Gui had no choice but to preside over the funeral of the victims to unite people. On the other hand, he also stepped up the detailed investigation and tried to figure out the matter.
And the other side, Fu Shi, has not stopped lately
The matter was not a military and national event, but because Fu Yan suddenly died in an inexplicable way in the room. This maid was very favored by Fu Yan. If nothing unexpected happened, he would probably become a concubine. But at this moment, the maid died without understanding.
Fu Yan, who was furious, naturally ordered an investigation, but soon, he found that the maid was poisoned to death, which made Fu Yan even more intolerant and demanded that the truth be revealed.
But when I was doing the autopsy, I hesitated for a long time before telling Fu Shen that this poison is commonly used by people in the clouds, and it was extracted from the teeth of a snake on the grassland.
That's the point is obvious. He said that this was done on behalf of the Chinese people.
After all, Fu Shi would not start a fight because of anger and fight in anger. Before he could figure it out, various frictions occurred on the border. Either the sentry was killed or the small grain warehouse was burned, or someone from the opposite side came to beat gongs and sang gongs and drums in the middle of the night. In short, it was all kinds of harassment.
After all, Fu Shi is not yet 20 years old. The clay man is still three-pointed. He is also angry when he is young.
