The First Tyrant in History 15, The First Tyrant in History Chapter 15 The Biggest Food

In fact, it is not surprising that Liu Xuan wants to wander around (the first high-quality text is in %).

It seems normal for the emperor to patrol the world, and it is impossible for Liu Xuan to visit the entire territory of the Han Dynasty - apart from anything else, except for the northwest counties, those places are all controlled by the princes. If Liu Xuan went there, wouldn't it be

Throw yourself into a trap?

Although he is not afraid of the other party's tricks to coerce the emperor to control the princes, there will definitely be a lot of trouble. At that time, these princes would not pay attention to things like 'son of heaven', 'emperor', 'lord of the world', they just wanted to use this

The 'tool to command the world' is just in your hands (the first high-quality text is in %).

Therefore, even if Liu Xuan inspects, he will only limit the scope to Yongliang and Liangzhou. For safety reasons, Liangzhou, which has not yet been completely controlled, must also be excluded. At the same time, the northernmost border area of ​​​​Yongzhou must not be visited as much as possible.

In this case, the area that needs to be inspected is an area in the north of the Qinling Mountains. It is not big or small. If Liu Xuan moves a little faster, he can roughly change it in one year.

He had a plan in mind, but he did not directly tell his two younger brothers, or even Cai Yan, because the emperor's patrol was of great importance, and there were many details that needed to be discussed and determined, and it would definitely not be decided in a while.

Come down.

At the same time, even if those details are determined, the real time to set off will not be now, at least until the spring flowers bloom, otherwise running around in the ice and snow - is the emperor leading a large group of people to play survival

Game?

After coming out of the palace, Liu Xuan took Cai Yan to Cai Yong's mansion. Someone had already informed Cai Yong and Cai Shangshu that the emperor would take the queen to his mansion.

Although it was nominally a visit to my father-in-law, this normal thing became unusual once it got involved with the emperor.

Cai Yong, who should obviously stay in his palace and wait, had already made preparations to welcome him. At the same time, he sent people to look out from afar. As soon as the emperor came, he would come back to report immediately, so that he could go out to greet him in advance -

-In fact, before the emperor arrives, officials will naturally go to inform him.

However, Liu Xuan and Cai Yan did not go out with much fanfare this time. Even Liu Xuan himself wore very ordinary clothes. When walking on the street, he looked no different from those ordinary 'children of wealthy families'.

The only ones guarding behind him were Zhang Liao and Qin Yilu, while the rest of Yulin Lang were scattered around, protecting him from a distance. This was also to facilitate the emperor to have as much fun as possible when he was relaxing. Otherwise, with a large group of people surrounding him, the street would have been

There were not many people who didn't immediately run away when they saw him. In Liu Xuan's words: "That would be really boring!"

While strolling around, Liu Xuan suddenly found a familiar figure not far ahead, who seemed to be talking to the people on the street. After looking carefully, Liu Xuan immediately figured out who that person was.

"Wenyuan, go and summon Gongda!"

That person was Xun You, the Minister of Revenue, and he didn't expect to meet him here in the dead of winter. Liu Xuan was curious about what Xun You was doing here - and he looked like an accountant.

Xun You was talking to ordinary people when he suddenly heard someone calling him. When he turned around, he found that it was Zhang Liao. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't think it was anything.

Although Zhang Liao was General Yulin and often guarded Liu Xuan, he did not guard him all the time. He also had his own time to rest, so Xun You just thought that Zhang Liao was just hanging out. Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao came over to whisper after seeing the courtesy.

Sentence: "Xun Shangshu, His Majesty calls you over."

Xun You was startled, and immediately looked into the distance, and immediately saw the group of people standing at the corner of the street. Who was the person in front of him?

However, he did not run over in a panic immediately. Instead, he talked to Zhang Liao as usual, and then said goodbye to the people. Finally, he strolled to Liu Xuan and met with Shi Zhou in a very concealed manner.

But Xun You saw that Liu Xuan didn't want to make too much noise today, so he acted like this. Liu Xuan was very satisfied to see Xun You so alert, but he was still wondering why Xun You came out in the cold wind today?

So after seeing the gift, he asked directly: "It's such a cold weather. Why is Gongda running around outside when he's not at home?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, is re-planning the currency system. In order to understand the people's thoughts, I asked around to see what the people think about this?"

Only then did Liu Xuan realize that Xun You was not staying at home, but running around in the cold wind, all because of the task he had given him.

It is not an easy task to repair the economic system. Although Liu Xuan has designated three currencies: gold, silver and copper, the issuance of currency does not mean that the court casts it and then it can be circulated. It depends.

Do the people agree? If the people don't accept it, then your currency is basically scrap metal and has no use at all.

Xun You walked around. He saw that in winter, most people stayed at home and it was easier to find people, so he chose this time to come out.

"So, according to Gongda's opinion, what is the situation?"

"But I only visited the people in Chang'an City. Most of the people in the city are relatively wealthy, so I don't have much opinion on the imperial court's re-implementation of new coins. However, I saw a few people living outside the city who came into the city to sell furs and dry firewood.

Poor farmers like this, after testing, it was found that they generally have a distrustful attitude towards the coins issued by the imperial court."

This is also a normal thing. In fact, the people who really care about coins are these poor people (the first high-quality text is in %).

Even if the money cannot be used by those big families, they have other means. With a strong family background, they have more choices. If the court introduces a new currency, they will be willing to accept it even if they want to buy peace without offending the court.

But the situation is different for ordinary people. If the imperial court uses currency to purchase the goods in their hands, the currency becomes the only property they own. If it has no effect and cannot be exchanged for the food and clothing they urgently need, then this family will basically have no choice but to

Waiting to die.

They will naturally attach great importance to issues related to their own survival. However, when Emperor Ling was in power, he minted money like crazy, which had long ago completely ruined the credibility of the court and coins. Now, although Xun You has made it clear that the new emperor will implement

They only thought that this was another way for the imperial court to exploit them.

"Yeah?"

Liu Xuan didn't expect this problem to be so troublesome. Compared with whether the rule of one gold, ten silver, and one thousand coppers he casually formulated was in line with the current era, it was not worth caring about.

The trouble now is still how to promote coins! Otherwise, the mighty Han Dynasty couldn't keep bartering, right? That would be too backward?

"Does Gongda have any good ideas?"

Xun You thought for a while, as if sorting out the thoughts in his mind, and then said after a moment: "I have thought about some solutions, and I feel that in the final analysis, the most important problem is food!"

"food?"

“That’s right, food!”

The filled barns not only prevent the people of Chang'an from worrying about food, but also benefit the entire Yongzhou, so why don't we take advantage of this and promote the currency?"

"Tell me carefully!" He waved to Xun You and walked forward slowly while listening to Xun You's explanation. The women beside him knew that the emperor was talking about business, so they deliberately took two steps slowly to put some distance between themselves and mind their own business.

He looked at the scenery on the street and spoke in a low voice, leaving a space for Xun You and Liu Xuan.

"The people's biggest concern is always their food - they can endure without clothes. But if they don't have food, no matter how they endure it, they will die within a few days, so food is the people's biggest concern.

of."

"I intend to set up a grain and rice shop in Chang'an and all counties in Yongzhou. This shop is a government establishment. As long as you use the currency issued by the imperial court to buy it, you can buy grain. As long as the people understand that this currency can be exchanged for what they urgently need.

Grain and rice, over time the people will naturally recognize the purchasing power of the new currency (the first high-quality text, all in %)."

"The people recognize it. Then the new currency will slowly become a currency that can be widely used!"

Liu Xuan nodded, and suddenly understood what Xun You meant - in fact, this is a bit like the promotion method of banknotes in later generations. As long as you take the banknotes recognized by us and come to the bank we opened, you can

Exchange it for the corresponding amount of silver.

Over time, the people understood that the silver notes and silver coins were items of equal value, so they naturally recognized the purchasing power of the silver notes.

That period was a period of silver standard, and after listening to Xun You's explanation, Liu Xuan finally realized that the Han Dynasty under Liu Xuan's rule was based on grain...

What about gold, silver, etc. For the common people, these inedible things are of no use at all. If they are exchanged for food, they will cause trouble, but they are not as practical as food.

"Sure enough, food is as big as the sky!"

However, this method requires the court to continue to provide enough food, because in the early days, the people must have been skeptical, and there were definitely not a few people who took the coins and directly exchanged them for food. If the court's grain and rice shops were not in supply,

, then this plan is a complete failure.

"Food...is the food currently owned by the imperial court enough?"

When Xun You heard Liu Xuan ask this, he knew that the emperor had realized the key to the plan. He smiled and said one thing: "Your Majesty, I have improved my cultivation in recent days, and I have also mastered several abilities. I am about to compete with him."

Your Majesty, please elaborate."

"Oh? What ability?"

"How to arrange the array to achieve high grain yield and rapid maturation, as well as the techniques for refining the basic array jade talisman!" Xun You cupped his hand and revealed two abilities that Liu Xuan had completely unexpected.

"It's these abilities? I didn't expect that Xun You would develop into the logistics talents he needs most?" Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

Originally, the techniques he taught included miscellaneous techniques related to the establishment of some basic cultivation civilizations, but no one had ever understood them. Just when he was thinking about whether to train some talents in this field, he learned that Xun You had already understood the most important of them.

Two basic abilities.

Since Xun You can understand, then...

"By the way, there happen to be a few talents in the northwest. Maybe these people can be trained into people like Xun You who are more focused on people's livelihood abilities? In this case, the northwest really has to patrol once!" (To be continued!)
