Chapter 263, their difficulties(1/2)
Xu Wei has thousands of years of experience, so naturally he will not be intimidated by this difficulty. At worst, he will buy war bonds. With the current state of Han merchants, he will definitely buy them enthusiastically. After all, if the Tengjia Army is defeated, all the merchants in Bingzhou will
They want to die without a burial place. Judging from Zhen An's donation of money, they also have this intention. I guess they know their current situation.
Although the government of the Tengjia Army does not have much money, it has hidden wealth among the people. The living conditions of ordinary people are much better than those of the Han Dynasty, not to mention the merchants. Now the entire Bingzhou has experienced an explosion of productivity because of Xu Wei, and these merchants have also
Earning a lot of money, it can be said that Bingzhou is now the most profitable place in the entire Han Dynasty. Some money from them is enough for Xu Wei to fight for another year.
If that doesn't work, you can simply learn from the Kingdom of Hope and put the entire Tengjia Army into a wartime state. You can even learn from the Great Qin and fight hard to consume. There is an army that is more powerful than the Great Qin that pretends to be a country. The Qin Dynasty can do this
,Why can’t the Tengjia Army do this?
However, the news from Zhang Baiqi also surprised Xu Wei. He was surprised that Huangfu Song could survive better than him. It turned out that Dong Zhuo helped him from behind. Gao Min Ling is really a kind of seven-injury fist that can kill the enemy.
800 stop loss 1000, but with the current small-scale peasant economy like the Han Dynasty, as long as there is food, half of the problem is solved. The remaining weapons and equipment have their own arsenal and the imperial court can manufacture them, so they do not necessarily use merchants. In this
It cannot be said that merchants are useless in this era, but they are indeed not as important as agriculture and industry. This can be seen from the ranking of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, which is summed up by the experience of the ancients!
There is no way this era is like this. The Three Kingdoms have been bartering for a long time. Although it is troublesome, everyone can still survive. The reason why merchants have a low status is because we have fewer merchants. Although life is difficult, but
We can still live, but we really can’t live without workers and peasants.
Although Dong Zhuo's Seven Injury Fist will face serious problems in the future, it has now injected chicken blood to solve the problem of the court's lack of money and food. This is the foundation of the competition with the Tengjia Army. With the money and food of these merchants, the Han Dynasty court can regain its health.
Huangfu Song has no shortage of money and food to fight against himself!
And Zhang Baiqi said that the cholera economy of the Han Dynasty robbed the Han Dynasty of the few supplies. Xu Wei agreed. No one in the world knew what would happen better than himself. I hope the country is not like this. Every time there is a crisis, it prints money.
, buying supplies from around the world to reduce his own inflation. Xu Wei was deeply affected by this at that time. As soon as he finished his studies, he encountered an economic crisis, and it was not over. It was difficult to find a good job.
And now because of Dong Zhuo's random massacre of merchants, the Han Dynasty's economy has come to a standstill and is about to face a serious economic crisis. If Zhen An and the others are allowed to cause trouble again, the Han Dynasty may enter the era of barter decades earlier!
The only thing that makes Xu Wei feel a little regretful is that they still have to pay copper coins instead of a blank piece of paper. In this era, copper coins are also an important strategic material, especially since Xu Wei has developed a bronze live cannon. The value of copper coins
It’s even higher!
Xu Wei thought for a while and thought of the country bumpkin next door. He could use woolen cloth as the equivalent to make woolen bills. It seemed that their Tengjia Army could also learn from this and use Mayi's wool as collateral to issue banknotes.
Paper was used to harvest the materials of the Han Dynasty, but Xu Wei thought that if the Han nobles really came to transport the woolen cloth from his place and sold it to Huangfu Song, then he would be in a cocoon. After all, woolen cloth is also a good thing at this time.
Strategic supplies for food!
Xu Wei thought for a while and decided to add a time limit for the extraction of these woolen cloths. If you want to collect them, you have to wait for half a year. In this half year, the war should be over. Even if it is not over, it will still be summer. Woolen cloths are not as valuable to Huangfu Song and others in winter.
high.
However, this cannot be regarded as paper money. It should be a kind of bond. The woolen cloth of Mayi is used as collateral to issue bonds to purchase various materials that the Han Dynasty has entered. The amount of woolen cloth in the hands of the Tengjia Army is enough to exchange for
Dahan has tens of billions of goods. Without so much goods, Dahan's prices will skyrocket. The money Dong Zhuo grabs will depreciate several times, making it difficult for Dong Zhuo to obtain enough goods. It will also easily make the world
The people were angry and resentful towards Dong Zhuo.
Moreover, the only ones who still have supplies now are the aristocratic clans. After defeating Huangfu Song, and then attacking the aristocratic clans, these things will return to their hands in a circle. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.
Xu Wei thought for a long time and made sure there was no big problem before he explained the bond issuance to Zhang Baiqi and the others!
The words are divided into two parts!
The Han army’s main tent!
Huangfusong dealt with the military information coming from everywhere!
Xu Rong, as his deputy, was assisting them!
"Why do you think that there are not enough medicinal materials transported? Could it be that the officials of the imperial court just looked at the soldiers of the Han Dynasty and died of serious injuries because of the lack of medicinal materials!" Huangfu Song said angrily when he saw the letter passed by the doctor at the rear.
During the battle with the Tengjia Army, the casualties among his men were always very high. He also attached great importance to the injured soldiers. As long as they could be treated well, they were an experienced veteran. For Huangfusong, an experienced veteran was worth more than five
All new recruits must be stronger, especially when the Tengjia Army soldiers are more elite than the soldiers in his hands. Each additional veteran in his hands will increase his chances of winning by one point.
But now, one of these veterans died because of a simple injury without receiving care. How could this not make Huangfu Song angry?
Xu Rong, who was on the side, read the letter requesting support for medicinal materials, and said to Huangfu Song with a wry smile: "Ming Gong, now the imperial court has issued an indictment throughout the Central Plains. The medicinal merchants have either been killed by the imperial army or have gone into hiding. Now
It’s very difficult to buy medicinal materials to treat tens of thousands of wounded soldiers, I’m afraid we have to find a way to solve the problem of medicinal materials ourselves!”
Huangfu Song frowned when he heard this. Dong Zhuo issued the complaint to support his army. He couldn't say anything. He could only say to Xu Rong: "The merchants in Youzhou are not unaffected. Find some medicinal materials from Youzhou."
Businessmen solve this problem. Our soldiers are not as elite as the Tengjia Army. If these veterans are injured or killed because of problems with medicinal materials, we will not be the opponent of the Tengjia Army. And we must do a good job in taking care of their injuries.
thing!"
Huangfusong thought for a while and said, "Go and find a way to contact the wealthy noble families in Youzhou and ask them to get a batch of medicinal materials!"
At this time, only the powerful nobles can use tens of thousands of medicinal materials!
Xu Rong nodded: "I'll let someone do it later!"
At this time, Ju Yi broke in and said: "Ming Gong, has the woolen cloth distributed by the imperial court arrived? If not, I'm afraid our soldiers in the Shield and Sword Battalion will be so cold that they can't even hold their knives! It's so cold in Youzhou this winter.
, I can’t believe it, it’s not as cold as here in Xiliang!”
Huangfu Song was surprised and said: "I wrote to the court in October asking for the transportation of 500,000 pieces of woolen cloth. Has it not come yet?"
Xu Rong smiled bitterly and said: "The imperial court found a way to get 30,000 pieces of cloth, and they are still on the way. They told us to let us figure out the other things ourselves, and these pieces of cloth are still on the way!"
Huangfusong asked: "Why are there so few? I remember that the price of woolen cloth has been falling over the years, and now it is no longer comparable to the price of ordinary silk! If the whole Han Dynasty is not full of woolen cloth, how can it be possible to get less than 500,000?
A piece of woolen cloth?”
Now the entire Mayi has become the largest textile center in the Han Dynasty. In recent years, not only Tengjia Army has been expanding production, Zhen'an and others are also expanding production capacity. Now, Bingzhou produces more than hundreds of millions of woolen cloths every year. It is naturally impossible for Bingzhou to eat
After buying so much woolen cloth, Zhen An and his caravan sold the woolen cloth throughout the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and Hu merchants even sold it throughout the entire desert. Now the caravan has reached as far as the sixteen countries of the Western Regions.
.
But even though the market already had tens of millions of square kilometers, it was quickly filled with this flood of woolen cloth. In just a few years, woolen cloth fell from a high-end product comparable to Shu brocade to a textile inferior to ordinary silk.
Even judging from the trend, its status will soon be comparable to Azabu.
Xu Rong said helplessly: "Ming Gong, the woolen cloth of the entire Han Dynasty is produced by the Tengjia Army. There are only a small amount of woolen cloth in other places, and the price is also expensive. Now we are fighting with the Tengjia Army, and the Tengjia Army's woolen cloth has been
He rarely left Bingzhou. When the order came out, the merchants in Bingzhou did not dare to show up. Naturally, the court could not find woolen cloth. Because of the lack of woolen cloth, the price of woolen cloth had soared to 10,000 yuan.
, and it’s still priceless!”
The advantage of suing Minling is that you can get a lot of money, but the disadvantage is that you can't buy anything even if you have money. Even now, craftsmen in small workshops everywhere dare not make various materials and tools, for fear that the court will regard themselves as businessmen.
By then, no money has been made, and no life has been lost. It can be said that the economic activities of the entire Han Dynasty have basically stopped!
Huangfu Song can get enough money and food, but only money and food!
Xu Rong could only say helplessly: "Ming Gong, the only things the imperial court can provide us now are money and food, the weapons and armors we reported, and other logistical supplies. When we have 30% of the capital here, it will be considered very good. Ming Gong should let the country
Please give me some money, and we can buy some supplies in Youzhou so that we can go faster!"
Ju Yi was surprised and said: "We still have to fight against the Tengjia Army in the wild, without even winter clothes. Our 200,000-strong army can have combat effectiveness. If Lei Gong attacks us now, won't we become lambs to be slaughtered? Let's let it go
These 200,000 troops just stay on the kang!"
Speaking of which, Han's 200,000-strong army has not been frozen to death. Thanks to Xu Wei's invention of the fire kang and the hornet's nest. Even with these two magic weapons, Huangfu Song's 200,000-strong army can still fight against him!
Xu Rong thought for a while and said: "It's hard for me to help you with winter clothes, but Youzhou is rich in coal mines. I can find a way to ask the folk to make more briquettes for you!"
Ju Yi rolled his eyes at Xu Rong and said, "Then I'm going to command the army and fight the Thunder Lord on the Kang!"
Then he said to Huangfu Song: "Ming Gong, if we really can't get winter clothes, we should retreat now! Although this may not save Youzhou, it can save our 200,000 troops. With these 200,000 troops here, we can still
We can guarantee Jizhou, otherwise when the world gets colder, most of our 200,000 troops will be frozen to death, and the army will be destroyed by Thunder God’s strike. By then, let alone Youzhou, not even Jizhou will be able to be saved!"
Huangfusong thought for a while and said: "I will find a way to make winter clothes. The Tengjia Army can make woolen cloth. The local nobles in Youzhou want it and there are many parents who know how to make woolen cloth. There will be no shortage of woolen cloth in their hands.
Let’s go buy it from him!”
Then Huangfu Song said to Xu Rong: "Since the imperial court can't support us with other supplies, you can ask the Prime Minister for money and we can buy it ourselves in Youzhou. There are hundreds of noble families in Youzhou. With their family property, we can make a living."
Our army of 200,000!"
Xu Rong said helplessly: "Youzhou is now a war zone, and the prices of various goods have skyrocketed. Even if the Prime Minister gives money, it will be difficult for us to purchase enough logistics materials, and my subordinates are worried that they will not sell them.
Give us!"
Huangfu Song said with a cold face: "We are not protecting the safety of their family in Wo Bing Cang Xue. If they are still so ignorant, you can tell the families of these powerful gentry that the denunciation order cannot be implemented in Youzhou."
, let them be more sensible and don’t force me to use 200,000 troops to rob it!"
Then Huangfusong said to Xu Rong: "These words, you told the noble families in Youzhou exactly, if our army wants to spend this winter safely, it is unreliable to rely on the court, and there are only noble families in Youzhou."
Only with the supplies can we meet the needs of our 200,000-strong army!"
Xu Rong was surprised and said: "Ming Gong, if you threaten each family like this, I'm afraid they will complain to the court, which will be detrimental to Ming Gong in the future!"
Huangfu Song said nonchalantly: "What else can be disadvantageous? Thunder Lord is about to capture the entire Youzhou. Are these people still guarding their property and waiting to be harvested by Thunder Lord?"
Instead of being hanged by Thunder God and having their family property and land distributed to the people by Thunder God to win people's hearts, it is better for them to give it all now to help us defeat Thunder God. Although their family property is not saved in this way, their lives are saved. Their lives are saved.
The land is also saved!”
Ju Yi said with a smile that caused trouble: "Ming Gong is right. We won't be able to keep our family property anyway, so we might as well fight it all with Lei Gong. Even if we fail, it won't make Lei Gong feel better. This is the true nature of a man in my generation! Is this true?
We must learn from those powerful noble families in Bingzhou, who were all sobbing and hanged at the trial of Duke Lei, and the members of the family did not dare to avenge their own families!"
"I heard that there are still many big families with more than 2,000 shi under the rule of Lei Gong. They have not escaped from Bingzhou at all, but are living cautiously under Lei Gong. Lei Gong hates noble families, and even they may not let them.
They became high-ranking officials, and all their disciples, former officials, and family status in Bingzhou were wiped out by Lei Gong. Now they can only live in front of becoming merchants in Bingzhou. If they dare to appear in the Han Dynasty, they might all be massacred by Fatty Dong!
