Chapter 129 The big family in Jingzhou is not short of money
"Youdu, I heard that you asked Liu Chun to beg for food from the villagers in Yuanjiang garrison. Is this a problem?" Huan Chong straightened his body and acted like an old man.
Xie Xuan secretly laughed in his heart: This old man is crazy!
Who is the chief culprit that caused today's situation? Doesn't he have a clue?
He actually dared to ask about this matter. Xie Xuan suddenly felt desolate. He was born with a hard life, Lao Xie!
When others poop, you carry it.
"how?"
"General Huan also thinks it's inappropriate to do this?"
Huan Chong waved his hands repeatedly: "Nothing!"
"You should have done this a long time ago! I'm not wrong, there is always a way, it depends on people."
Hearing that Xie Xuan had thought of a solution, Huan Chong was happy for him. He walked up to him and patted his shoulder, feeling very calm.
"It's just that when I came here just now, although the rain was raining very fast, I seemed to hear that there was already trouble outside the yard."
"You have to think of countermeasures."
Xie Xuan's face turned serious: "Anyone else dares to make trouble?"
Xie Xuanthen's eyes confused Huan Chong, who was not very smart at first.
"You did such an evil thing, didn't you expect that someone would come to make trouble?"
No!
No, no!
Huan Chong was shocked!
Xie Xuan's level of evil deeds is really too bad!
"Youdu, you live in Yuanjiang garrison now, not in the court hall of Jiankang Palace. You are just a few walls away from the villagers. Do you think that you can get everything done with just a wave of your hand? You don't need to
Let’s get in touch with the villagers.”
At this point, Xie Xuan's performance has fully demonstrated that he was unprepared for the villagers' reaction.
Huan Chong had to look at him with regretful eyes: "Youdu, you are a good fighter, but when it comes to handling local affairs, you still need experience."
"Even if you do evil, you must do it to the end. Since the food has been collected, just throw it into the granary and let it go. You don't have to consider what the villagers think."
"If you want to keep food while also taking into account the villagers' ideas, you will end up with nothing to rely on and no benefits at all."
Huan Chong gave Xie Xuan a heartfelt suggestion based on his many years of evil experience. Unexpectedly, Xie Xuan not only refused to accept it, but was also very disgusted with it.
"General Huan, what you said is very clear. Do you have experience in dealing with people who commit evil acts?" Unprepared, Wang Mi suddenly joined the chat.
He also saw that despite his age, General Huan was an old man, but he was actually quite unreliable.
There is no need to be too particular when talking to him.
Fortunately, Huan Chong also welcomed this lack of particularity.
Wang Mi originally thought that the old man would at least blush and be slightly ashamed, but he didn't expect that Huan Chong laughed out loud, feeling very calm.
"That's quite experienced."
Not only was he calm, he also played smoothly.
"When I was in Jingzhou, I had to prepare all the food and grass by myself. Every year when it was time to collect food, there were too many troubles."
"If the trouble gets serious, as the commander of Jingzhou, I have to step in and I can always resolve it properly in the end."
Listening to his loud blowing, Xie Xuan didn't believe a word of Huan Chong's words. If he was really as capable as he said, he would still deplete the garrison's food supply so much.
Then he said disdainfully: "You can collect the grain, but what about the money?"
"You can't just send troops to rob!"
Xie Xuan had a slight smile on his face, looking confident. Wang Mi was a little stunned. He really didn't have a deep understanding of how the collection of money was operated in Jin Dynasty.
However, as far as he knew, the army mainly focused on directly collecting grain and grass for war, and money could not be immediately converted into grain to fill the stomachs of the soldiers.
In the study of historical economic systems, there is a popular saying that during the hundreds of years of confrontation between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Southern Dynasty, which had a relatively developed monetary system, was burdened by the monetary system and failed repeatedly when marching and fighting.
The reason is probably because the real strength of the Southern Dynasties was never strong enough, so the currency they issued always faced rapid inflation.
The value of copper coins is insufficient. The copper coins popular in the market are either the currency of the previous dynasty, or the coins minted by this dynasty are of insufficient value.
Various privately minted currencies are even more popular and have been repeatedly banned.
In this context, in fact, the copper coin-based monetary system kept the economy of the Southern Dynasties in a state of chaos.
In comparison, the amount of copper coins minted in the north was quite limited. When soldiers went to war, they mainly collected grain. Although this system was quite backward, it could ensure the stability and orderliness of the war.
This is the outline that Wang Mi learned from the book, but specifically, what the monetary system here looked like in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty still needs to be understood in depth.
Wang Mi leaned forward, feeling that he needed to listen carefully to this lesson.
Xie Xuan's provocation struck a chord deep in Huan Chong's heart.
Money issues?
For Jingzhou soldiers, money has never been an issue!
Huan Chong put his hand on his waist and said with great arrogance: "We make our own money, there is no need to collect money."
As soon as Huan Chong said these words, Liu Chun's face immediately turned green.
Good guy!
Can this matter be told externally?
The old man's mouth is also too big.
Xie Xuan's surprised expression was frozen on his face, and he was speechless for a long time.
It took him a long while to calm down his turbulent mind.
"Is Jingzhou still minting its own money?"
Wang Dun's chaos, Shen Chongqian, and chilling words kept coming out one after another. Wang Mi felt that he probably understood why Xie Xuan's meeting was so earthy.
Turning his eyes, Wang Mi suddenly discovered that in a corner not far away, there was a fat old man who was also invited.
Police Officer Shen Shen joins the army and is standing in the back row. At this moment, no one is aware of his existence, and people seem to have forgotten his connection with this matter.
Police Officer Shen’s father is Shen Jin. Who is Shen Jin’s father?
It was Shen Chong, the tycoon who was willing to act as a think tank for Wang Dun who was entrenched in Jingzhou!
Speaking of Shen Chong's money, it was definitely a helpless and taboo topic in Dajin, but Huan Chong didn't feel any problem.
As the local emperor of Jingzhou, in his opinion, everything is taken for granted.
"Of course!"
"You have forgotten that the money-making furnace gifted by the imperial court is still in Jingzhou and has not been taken back. Of course, it will continue to be used!"
"Youdu, you don't know how hard it is to be a family member. It has been very difficult for our Huan family to run Jingzhou for many years. We have to be careful about everything. How can we do it if we don't make more money?"
Huan Chong's words of love were sincere, as if he were a mother who had endured many hardships with seven or eight children.
Xie Xuan was shocked again. Who would have thought that just a few decades after the Wangdun Rebellion was put down, his ghost would still linger in Jingzhou and Jin Dynasty!
No wonder, Xie Xuan felt that recently there had been more money being used in Jiankang City, and it turned out to be Huan Chong's fault.
