Six hundred and seventy-two Dong Zhuo does not understand the economy
After hearing Yan Xing's words, Han Sui shook his head repeatedly.
Although the current situation is indeed very dangerous, it is too unlikely to ask Guo Peng for help.
"Guo Zifeng is ready to be a powerful minister. He should not fight. The three auxiliary soldiers took him half of them. That is to defend, not enterprising. Guo Zifeng would not rashly move his troops because of this matter. Ma Teng is the governor of Liangzhou he was granted. If he doesn't look at Ma Teng, would he look at me?"
"Then you can't sit and wait for death. It's better to fight for it than to sit and wait for death, right?"
"That's the case, but how can we fight for Guo Zifeng?"
"False accusation!"
Yan Xing said, "Let's send someone to Chang'an to falsely accuse Ma Teng from Cao Zixiao. Cao Zixiao was the governor of Guanzhong appointed by Guo Zifeng. Let's say that Ma Teng often criticized Guo Zifeng in Liangzhou, saying that Guo Zifeng hosted the young lord and appointed the emperor to order the princes.
Ma Teng often says that what Guo Zifeng is doing now is what Dong Zhuo did back then. There is no difference between Guo Zifeng and Dong Zhuo, it is the second place. If we frame Ma Teng like this, Cao Zixiao will definitely be furious and will definitely send troops to attack Ma Teng."
"Is this OK?"
Han Sui looked suspicious: "Although Guo Zifeng is not here, Cao Zixiao is someone Guo Zifeng trusts very much. Will the people who Guo Zifeng trusts believe in such a simple plan of disagreement?"
"Do it first, no, think of other ways. At present, we have no way out. We must send people to Chang'an to fight for it. At worst, we can pay some money and cut some land. Cao Zixiao can still mobilize the 30,000 troops around the Sanfu of Chang'an. That is our only hope."
Yan Xing could not think of a better way, so he could only do whatever he wanted. He tried his best and said, "If they were willing to send troops, we still had the strength to help them. Guo Zifeng would not kill anyone. Ma Shoucheng and Ma Mengqi wanted the lives of your father-in-law and my son-in-law!"
Han Sui felt it made sense when he heard this. Of course, he had no choice but to do so, as if he was struggling to death.
So Han Sui decisively sent his confidant Cheng Gongying.
He asked Cheng Gongying to take his own handwritten letter to Chang'an to find Cao Ren and report to Cao Ren that Ma Teng criticized Guo Peng's misconduct.
He wanted Cao Ren to recognize Ma Teng's reactionary nature and send troops to wipe out Ma Teng so as not to become bigger and to seize Liangzhou and resist Guo Peng. It would be too late.
In exchange for Cao Ren's troops, he also promised Cao Ren the war horses and gold, and promised to send troops to the North County and Wudu County to Guo Peng after the mission was completed, as a reward.
Cheng Gongying was Han Sui's confidant and was very loyal to Han Sui. After receiving Han Sui's order, he immediately secretly walked through mountains and rivers into Guanzhong and ran towards Chang'an City regardless of his own danger.
Chang'an City is now Cao Ren's territory. Cao Ren is diligent and cautious in Chang'an City.
Cao Ren is very busy, really busy. He not only has political and military tasks to be responsible for in Chang'an, but also has a very important task, which is to collect Dong Zhuo's small money and send it back to Yecheng.
After Guo Peng pacified the land of Guanxi, he ordered Cao Ren to stay in Guanzhong and ordered Cao Ren to collect small coins minted by Dong Zhuo from all over Guanzhong and send them back to Yecheng.
After these Dong Zhuo's small coins were sent back to Yecheng, they were recast and recast into standard Wuzhu coins to stabilize the economy of the Guanxi region and restore economic order.
The Wuzhu coins are a legendary currency in Chinese history. From the time Emperor Wu of Han casts Wuzhu coins until the Tang Dynasty abolishes Wuzhu coins, the lifespan of the Wuzhu coins lasts for more than 700 years. It is the most successful and long-lived currency in Chinese history.
Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the economy of the Eastern Han Dynasty was relatively stable, and the circulation of Wuzhu coins was relatively prosperous and smooth.
This situation was broken after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the economic situation in Kansai was completely collapsed.
Originally, it was not strange that wars would cause economic recession, but it was rare to completely destroy the economy of Guanzhong, which was very prosperous between the Han Dynasty.
This is not the credit of Dong Zhuo alone. The attacks of the princes against Dong, especially Guo Peng and Sun Jian, were also important impetus for fueling the fire.
Dong Zhuo was beaten up by them and had no choice but to move the capital, but moving the capital was huge and required a lot of money. The first way Dong Zhuo thought of was not to mint money, but to rob.
On the day of moving the capital, Dong Zhuo first charged the rich man in Luoyang City and robbed property. He also ordered his subordinates to burn all the palaces, governments and houses within 200 miles of Luoyang. He also ordered Lu Bu to lead his troops to dig graves and collect treasures. None of them were spared from the imperial tombs and tombs of ordinary officials.
Under such a catastrophe, the court and the people lost all the necessary supplies for life. After the wave of robbery passed, life problems followed one after another.
People always have to solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is not possible to solve the problem. No matter how tough Dong Zhuo is, he still has to face such problems.
Helplessly, Dong Zhuo had to order coins to be minted so that he could go to various places to purchase daily necessities to solve the living problems of the military and civilians in Xindu.
So Dong Zhuo plundered copper in Chang'an, and for this reason he destroyed the twelve gold men cast by Qin Shihuang, and also destroyed the original Wuzhu coins, and used them as raw materials to mint coins.
The money he cast was Dong Zhuo's small coins. This kind of coins had no outline or pattern, and was extremely light in weight. It was not as heavy as Wuzhu at all. The quantity was particularly large, and it was speculated that it was as much as 700 million to 800 million.
He thought the more money he was minted, the better.
At that time, Guanzhong lacked daily necessities. Dong Zhuo did not understand the economy, had no economic knowledge, and did not know the relationship between money and goods, so he put a lot of small money into the market.
He thought that this would be enough, the money would arise and the problem would be solved.
Then, Dong Zhuo's circulation of small money almost immediately triggered a very serious hyperinflation on the market.
The rate of inflation is extremely terrifying, but Dong Zhuo doesn't care. He has accumulated a large amount of supplies that are enough for 30 years to live in the Munwu, and he is free and happy, regardless of people's life and death.
Later, Dong Zhuo died, Li Jue and Guo Si took power, causing even more terrifying chaos, and vicious inflation reached its peak.
According to the information collected by Guo Peng, the price of Yihuogu around Chang'an rose to as much as 50,000 yuan.
At the same time, in the Qingyan Prefecture, Guo Peng's base camp, he accumulated a large amount of grain and supplies due to the military farming policy, so Guo Peng was confident.
So after killing Lu Bu, Guo Peng set up grain stores, cloth stores, salt stores, etc. in his jurisdiction to assist in restoring the casting and circulation of standard Wuzhu coins, and slowly recovering the destroyed commodity economy.
At that time, the next hu of grain he had only had ten coins.
Ten to fifty thousand, this number may be exaggerated, but you can see how terrifying the inflation in Guanzhong area was at that time.
It's basically the level of waste.
Therefore, after the Hongnong court stabilized, the Kansai area at that time had completely stopped accepting the circulation of Dong Zhuo's small money. Everyone agreed to give up the currency and directly degenerated back to the primitive trading era of bartering.
