Just when the two gangs were arguing, Zhang Fei, who was annoyed and impatient, stood up impatiently and said, "What's there to argue about? I want me to say, let's kill Yuan Shao quickly, no
That's it. Such a simple thing, as long as my brother gives me a sentry. I, Lao Zhang, promise to be able to get it."
Zhang Fei's voice stopped talking at that time. Everyone couldn't help but think: Yes. This is not just a simple solution to the problem.
Only Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others were amused and crying about Zhang Fei's proposal.
At this time, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Liu Ming, waiting for Liu Ming to express his opinion, what should we do about this matter?
Liu Ming had a headache. If you want to talk about the proposals among these people, the simplest ones of his third brother Zhang Fei. Isn’t it just a war? Then Yuan Shao himself knows the skills. Isn’t it just a few people and a larger territory?
It's not easy to destroy him. But the problem is that as long as I destroy Yuan Shao first, I will put myself on the verge of the waves. The so-called "shot" is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the first to kill Yuan Shao. If I say that I am now
The strength is still small and does not pose a threat to other princes, which may not be enough to arouse fear among the people. But the problem is that now, his strength is not only not small, but also so great that no one can ignore it. But it is not as great as
It can sweep the world, even if all the princes unite together, it doesn't care. If he becomes the point of a thousand men, it may... no! It's impossible! Then Dong Zhuo will definitely exaggerate this matter and provoke unanimous confrontation among the world
If that happens, my own difficulties will be even greater. Moreover, my third brother’s proposal is not in line with the action strategies that he, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others have already formulated.
Thinking of this, Liu Ming decided to choose one of three, so he would remove one first. So Liu Ming waved his hand and said to Zhang Fei: "Sir, please be impatient. Although Yuan Benchu is wrong, he is still with him after all.
I am also a Han minister. How can I slap in this trivial matter? I will discuss this after the proposal."
Zhang Fei retreated helplessly.
Cai Yong, Xun Yu, Xun You and others stood up to praise Liu Ming for his loyalty and righteousness in the Han Dynasty and his virtue of not using rash weapons.
Now Liu Ming rejected one of the three proposals, but the remaining two proposals still make it difficult for Liu Ming to choose. To be honest, both of the two proposals proposed by Jia Xu are pretty good, but they also have them.
Each of them is to hurt others and hurt yourself when you hurt others. From the perspective of Liu Ming's corporate management, it is an undesirable behavior. Even if Yuan Shao is destroyed,
While slowing down its own development, it also gave others the opportunity to grow and take advantage of it. Another strategy is a win-win situation. However, Liu Ming, a character like Jiahu, is really unwilling to take advantage of it.
Yuan Shao.
It's a dilemma! Liu Ming was thinking hard, isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds? Finally, Liu Ming gritted his teeth and made a decision. He thought: Even if the development is slow, it cannot be cheaper, so as to avoid the match against Yuan Shao in the future
At the time, increase the unnecessary casualties of your own army. Anyway, you cannot take care of everyone, and you must kill others, and you cannot die of those who follow you wholeheartedly.
However, just when Liu Ming said that, Liu Ming suddenly thought: Now these so-called losses are all taken for granted by Mi Zhu and Jia Xu, and there is no definite data basis.
In fact, you should ask Mi Zhu to list the exact data, compare it yourself, and then make a decision. This way, you can better evaluate these two methods.
So, Liu Ming asked Mi Zhu: "Zi Zhong, let me tell you, how much profit was the original profit of our Youzhou business road to various places? If we don't change the way, how much loss will we lose? If we change the way, we will do it again.
How much loss is there? And how much profit will Yuan Shao have for this?"
Some people didn't understand why Liu Ming asked this question. But Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others couldn't help but be glad that they met a wise wise ruler who seeks truth from facts. They did not make any judgments, but
It is only after weighing the pros and cons that we make a decision.
If someone else had to work hard for a long time after Liu Ming asked this, he would have to work hard for a long time to answer. But Mi Zhu is worthy of being a business genius. Mi Zhu came out of these things.
However, what Mi Zhu said was easy, but everyone on the scene, including Liu Ming, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun Yu and others, was completely confused. Especially for each trade route, wherever they went, they made it happen.
The price difference is to make greater profits, which makes people confused.
When Liu Ming saw that this was not possible, wasn't it just a waste of time to say it. He quickly stopped Mi Zhu and said, "Zi Zhong, wait! Let me take the map and discuss it again." Then, Liu Ming asked someone to take the Youzhou map and Jizhou map for the sake of
Mi Zhu's explanation.
Mi Zhu followed the map this time, and everyone understood a lot. Especially Liu Ming, this time he finally understood why he could make money. He was really lucky. Nowadays, he is completely self-sufficient.
In the small peasant society, food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc., they are all done by themselves and have enough food and clothing. Especially various crops and supplies, etc., because the production is simple, it is almost what you have here, and I am here.
What are the local things? So merchants can't make money for ordinary things. Even if they are big grain garrisoners, big grain merchants, etc. in various places, they will catch up with a famine year, and then they will have some huge profits. They will sell them to the city as usual.
People in the village really can't make anything. On the contrary, the wine, paper, cement and other items they produce are not good at all, and they are not so good after doing it. This is what they earn.
A lot of money. And furniture, wooden tools, etc., are now far from Youzhou, and there are still some sales in Youzhou.
Liu Ming looked at this map and found that all kinds of goods from Youzhou were originally sold from Youzhou, through Bohai County, Leling and other rich places. Now he has changed his mind.
The road is through Zhongshan County, Changshan County, Leping County, Guangping County, Yangping County, then crossing Hejian, to Sili, and then selling it to Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places. Not only is the journey much longer. Now Sili has passed Dong Zhuo so
Once the trouble broke out, there was no purchasing power, and there were many bandits, so the road was even more unsafe. Therefore, once the road changed, it caused a large increase in freight costs, which directly led to the profits of the goods becoming thinner. In this way,
, changing the trade route has really suffered a lot of losses to Youzhou.
While looking at the map, Liu Ming was considering the pros and cons, but as Liu Ming looked, Liu Ming suddenly realized, why not take the sea route? Youzhou itself leaned against the Bohai Sea and could directly drop the boat.
Landing from Donglai in Qingzhou, and along the coastline, you can easily reach Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other places. This sea transportation is not only large in quantity, but also safe. Why not use it?
Liu Ming raised his head in confusion, looked at Mi Zhu and asked, "Zi Zhong, why can't we transport goods from sea? In that case, will our problems be solved?"
After Liu Ming finished speaking, everyone looked at Liu Ming strangely. Mi Zhu said with a bitter face: "Lord. If we take a boat along the Yellow River or the Yangtze River, it would be OK to transport goods like that. But if we were from Youzhou
Until Donglai, if you walk outside the sea, ordinary boats cannot withstand the wind and waves on the sea at all. They must be large sea boats to withstand such large wind and waves. But how can there be such large sea boats in Youzhou? And the lord
You have no navy troops to escort. Gongsun Du from Liaodong has warships patrolling the sea from time to time. And if we walk along the coast, we will also alarm Yuan Shao in the Bohai Sea. If Yuan Shao also sends a ship to harass him, then we will still
It's not the same unlucky."
The others also looked at Liu Ming with agreement.
Liu Ming's old face turned red, but he didn't expect that the problem was still on himself. However, Liu Ming immediately looked calm again. Liu Ming said in his heart: Can you blame me? I am from the army, not the navy, so I didn't expect that these are normal.
You should have reminded me of these. At the same time, Liu Ming couldn't help but sigh: It turned out that the coastal defense in the era he came was bad enough, but I didn't expect that in this era, it was even more
It's really a pity that there is no coastal defense. However, Liu Ming also wanted to build his navy even more. No matter whether others say that the navy is useful or not, it would be more of a loss. He would be ahead of him by the age of navigation.
At this moment, Liu Ming said excitedly: "Okay. Let's go on the sea road. It doesn't matter if there is no ship. We can build our own in Youzhou. It doesn't matter if there is no water army. We can also recruit people to form our Youzhou immediately. The problems can all be solved
As long as our sea routes are smooth in the future, we will make more money. Wouldn't we all come back all of a sudden? As for us not being able to ship the goods for the time being, that doesn't matter. Anyway, we have just taken Bingzhou, Bingzhou.
It also needs to develop. All our goods are not in a hurry to sell them to other places. We can support the development of Bingzhou first. Especially grain, cement and other things. As for our Youzhou specialty wine, paper and other things, it is also
Let’s not sell it to all parts of the Central Plains for now. Anyway, there is a mess in all parts of the Central Plains now, and there is not much oil and water. Let’s stock up first to make the supply of goods in all parts of the Central Plains tighter. When it is sold in the future, it can also be sold at a good price.
If we sell fine wine to all ethnic groups in Wuhuan and the Xianbei ethnic groups, then don’t stop it. Although they have no money, their horses, cattle and sheep are more useful than giving us money."
Speaking of this, Liu Ming suddenly thought: the strategy proposed by Jia Xu and others just seemed to be just targeting the buying and selling of goods and routes. He did not respond to Yuan Shao's counterfeit currency, but just said that if he did not trade with Yuan Shao and others, the money would be
They could not flow into Youzhou, and did not fundamentally mention the illegality of issuing counterfeit currency. They just said that Yuan Shao and the others would sooner or later have no money to buy goods. By then, Yuan Shao and the others would suffer themselves.
But in that case, the money that Yuan Shao cast will flow into the people and will sooner or later cause inflation. In that case, the people will be unlucky in the end.
Thinking of this, Liu Ming's eyes rolled and then asked, "You guys, I wonder what you think about Yuan Shao's privately casting copper coins?"
These people were stunned at the time and did not adapt to Liu Ming's high-speed jumping thinking for a while.
Among these people, Guo Jiadi reacted the fastest. Guo Jia vaguely thought that this might be the lord's dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao's private minting of coins. So he spoke: "Lord, the law of the Han Dynasty stipulates that those who mint coins privately will be killed and decided to make a decision.
But we did not grasp the real evidence of Yuan Shao's private minting of coins. We would not take any action against Yuan Shao. Moreover, if we want to conquer it, it would not be in line with our established strategy. But when the princes fight, we
However, we can fight against Yuan Shao in sequence as excuses."
After Guo Jiagang finished speaking, there was another echo of emotion around him.
When Liu Ming saw it, he got it! The monkey was eating trickle, and it made everyone misunderstand. So he explained: "Fengxiao, I didn't ask Yuan Shao how to treat the privately minted coins, but the privately minted coins.
How should we treat it?"
When Liu Ming said this, everyone became even more confused. Jia Xu couldn't help but speak, "The coins that are minted can be spent, of course they are wealth. Everyone likes wealth, so what else can they treat? Just like the emperor
If you can mint coins, the emperor can directly generate wealth. Even Dong Zhuo, who held the emperor hostage, isn't he minting coins privately now? Didn't he just use these to pay military pay? Although Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo and others use less copper to mint coins
.But on their own territory, it is still the same as the Wuzhu coins of the previous emperor? It is only when the small coins they cast flow outside, if they go to our Youzhou and other places, they will not be recognized and depreciated.
What's there to be suspicious about this?"
Others, including Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others, also looked at Liu Ming in confusion. Even Mi Zhu, who is in charge of Youzhou's economic lifeline, also did not understand what Liu Ming's intention was to ask?
Liu Ming was so angry that Liu Ming never expected that people at this time had no financial view on copper coins. In their eyes, copper coins, currency, and wealth were the same.
At this moment, Liu Ming carefully recalled the discussions about currency that the teacher had said during class. He was preparing to explain them to his subordinates.
But the first thing Liu Ming thought of was the discussion of the essence of money: first, currency is a commodity. Secondly, currency is a special commodity, a material that expresses the value of all other commodities, and has the ability to exchange with any other commodities.
Finally, the change in the external form of currency does not change the essence of currency, nor does it change the relationship between currency and commodity opposition equilibrium.
