Chapter 567 Xu You

"Wenyue." Jia Rong whispered, "I came to see you."

Several exquisite dishes and two bottles of bright wine were quickly placed in the prison by the lone wolf soldiers.

The humid and dark environment made Jia Rong frown slightly.

"General." Han Sui didn't get up, but just said a faint greeting.

"Wenyue, you should already know what happened in the city. Cheng Gongying and Cheng Mu's father and son, co-exal the enemy and betrayed the country, assassinated officials with the man in black, and sold the weapons of the craftsman's workshop." Jia Rong said slowly.

"The general means that I understand that I die without regret. I just hope that the general can treat my family well." Han Sui's voice was flat, and he did not show panic or other emotions because he was about to ask.

Jia Rong said, "Don't worry, it's not as bad as your family."

"Thinking that when I fought with the general for the first time, I should attack Pingxiang with all my strength and not give the general any chance." Han Sui suddenly said.

Jia Rong laughed and said, "Wen Yue, it's also your careless thinking of the original war."

After the two talked for a long time, Jia Rong left the prison.

Han Sui's death still has a great touch on Jia Rong. In this era, either you become a strong person that everyone in the world is afraid of, or you will die in battle and become an unobtrusive spray in the long river of history.

After Han Suicheng Gongying was executed, almost all the guards around Jia Rong were replaced. The soldiers guarding the workshop were also adjusted, and the management of the workshop became stricter.

These delays have caused panic in the city, and the normal operation of the craftsman's workshop has also been affected to a certain extent. Jia Rong has particularly strengthened his control over the craftsman, and the control of weapons is stricter. The weapons and armor of ordinary soldiers are all registered. What happens, the generals are looking for. .

Wang Yue did not show any resistance to Li Ying and Li Yu's participation in the assassination. He knew that the assassination could not be completely decided by Wang Yue. Jia Rong had also placed personnel in the assassination many times. Since he chose to work for the Xiliang Army, he could only compromise. He also knew that Jia Rong could not allow the existence of independence in the army.

There have been some time in the officialdom. For these situations, Wang Yue opened his eyes and closed his eyes.

In the past half month of the man in black incident, the general's mansion announced the establishment of Dahan's first bank, called Xiliang Bank. The logo of the bank is two intersect swords, indicating that the bank was established in the war. No matter how much it costs, the Xiliang Army will pay everything to guard the bank.

Of course, the reputation of the general's mansion is needless to say. After understanding some of the regulations of the bank, many merchants have exchanged some money.

The denominations of the coupons issued by the bank are from one dime to one hundred respectively. Following the system of later coins, one dime is equivalent to one cent at this time.

The banknote is engraved with a Xiliang army cavalry holding a machete. It is majestic and lifelike. There are many anti-counterfeiting measures to avoid artificial fakes. The wisdom of the ancients cannot be denied. Their means of counterfeiting are not much worse than that of later generations. In terms of fairy love, there have been many imitations, but there are no The real secret recipe, these fairy love can be seen at a glance, but the people who are greedy for cheap will not care so much. The real aristocrats have been using authentic fairy love, which is also one of the reasons why the fairy love pavilion has flourished in the Han Dynasty.

The issuance of the bank has set off a storm in Dahan. It is much more convenient to replace money with paper money to a certain extent, but all the money has become controlled by the Xiliang Army. Once Chang'an changes, will the banknotes in the hands of merchants still be useful? These notes are exchanged for real gold.

The bank is only under the rule of the Xiliang Army for the time being, that is to say, the banknotes in the hands of the merchants are a piece of waste paper, which has no effect when it comes to the territory of other princes. However, this kind of banknotes can also be circulated among the merchants of the princes. The reputation of the Xiliang Army is there, not for a few money, to one The businessman lost his faith.

Mi Jiawei's family is very responsive, exchanging almost half of their family property into banknotes. In this era, businessmen also want to do business conveniently, large businesses, and the items and money they carry out are a burden, but they don't need to use paper money. They only need dozens of sandalwood boxes to buy the things of the next fleet. However, the prerequisite is that these banknotes can be truly implemented in all parts of the Han Dynasty.

There are still certain restrictions on the implementation of banknotes. First of all, the merchants do not have complete trust. The Mi family, who joined the bank, has a close relationship with the Wei family and Xiliangjun. How cunning the merchants are, just take out part of the money to exchange paper money for paper money to see the aftereffects.

I have to say that the implementation of banknotes makes it much more convenient for merchants in Chang'an City. There is no need to bring heavy money when you go out. You only need a light banknote to buy things, and merchants and hawkers have to collect them. For merchants who do not collect paper money, Xiliangjun has a clear rule that once it is found, it will be driven away or arrested. Catch.

The people are simple, and it is safe to keep the money at home. A piece of paper money can replace so much money, which makes them feel very uneasy. They still use money on the street, not paper money.

For these, Jia Rong did not make mandatory requirements. It requires a subtle process. It is impossible to reach the sky in one step. When the people really find the convenience of paper money, they will definitely use it.

It is easy for merchants to trade, but it does not mean that other princes will cooperate. After seeing the threat of the Xiliang army to set up a bank, they also issued countermeasures to encourage merchants to use money in the city and suppress the banknotes issued by the general's mansion.

The cross-generational action of paper money comes from Jia Rong's hands. In the eyes of Jia Xu and others, it is not so difficult to understand. There have been so many fantastic ideas, and paper money is just one of them. If you look at the Fairy Love Pavilion or the Moonlight Cup, which is not an unprecedented move, but these counselors certainly do not know how to do it through banks. To suppress the princes, once the princes find that the bank has such benefits, they will definitely set up their own bank, and then it will be the arrival of the war between merchants.

After dealing with the general matter of the bank, Jia Rong confirmed that the standing soldiers of the Xiliang Army were 150,000, and the number of troops was not increased. Because the battle with the princes had recovered Bingzhou and lost a lot of soldiers when capturing Youzhou, the Xiliang Army began to recruit.

With unprecedented growth, many teams, under the leadership of generals, walk in the territory of the Xiliang Army and encourage the people to join the army. After strict selection, those who do not meet the requirements will not be hired.

It is the dream of many men to become a soldier of the Xiliang Army, and the reaction is very strong everywhere.

The defeat of Yan Rou in Youzhou, the surrender of Liu He, and the rapid pace of the Xiliang army made Yuan Shao feel an unprecedented panic. He constantly recruited troops and prepared for the sneak attack of the Xiliang army. In the land of Zhuo County alone, Yuan Shao stationed 30,000 soldiers. On the contrary, the Xiliang army's standing troops in the whole Youzhou and Bingzhou, but Forty thousand people.

Not only was Yuan Shao panicked, but Cao Cao was also shocked by the expansion speed of such an ally.

Jia Rong seemed to be dedicated to developing his strength. After occupying Youzhou, he did not show any intention to march. The war in Qingzhou once again focused the eyes of people all over the world on Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Cao's army attacked Le'anguo with strange soldiers and defeated Yuan's army, intending to drive Yuan's army out of Qingzhou completely.

On the one hand, Yuan Jun should resist the pressure from the Xiliang Army at any time, and also send a large army to Qingzhou to resist Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao was worried for a while. Yuan's army's troops were quite a few, 200,000. However, in addition to the defense of the army of the Xiliang Army, the real combatable soldiers were only more than 100,000, and the Cao army was strong. It was almost invincible in the Central Plains, which was the same as the strength of the Xiliang Army, but in the face of such an enemy. Yuan Shao has no fear. Speaking of Jia Rong, he may not have the will to fight, but Yuan Shao has a strong confidence to defeat Cao Cao.

Since childhood playmates, Yuan Shao still has a certain understanding of Cao Cao. After the war in Le'an, Yuan Shao strengthened the vigilance of Qingzhou on the one hand, and Jizhou's defense was also strengthened to guard against Cao Cao's sneak attack.

The two sides fought happily in Qingzhou, and the envoys from Jizhou also arrived in Chang'an.

Seeing the hustle and bustle of Chang'an, the common merchants rubbed their shoulders, and Xu You couldn't help sighing, "Chang'an's prosperity is really empty!"

The main street in Chang'an can accommodate eight horses, but the road that merchants and officials walk is different. Ordinary people are not allowed to walk casually on the official road.

Xu You's luxurious carriage appeared on the official road, which immediately attracted the people and businessmen nearby to stop and watch. In Chang'an, it must be unusual to use such a carriage. There are more than a hundred soldiers around the carriage. Such a situation will not happen unless important officials in Chang'an travel. Look at the hundreds on both sides. Xu You is very useful for his surname.

The good times did not last long. A horse team appeared in front of Xu You's carriage, with about 50 people. Each soldier was a machete, standing quietly in place, looking at Xu You's motorcade seemed to be a little bad.

Xu You in the carriage laughed and said, "I didn't expect the general to send someone to greet him."

The general beside him said, "Your excellency is prominent under General Yuan. It's not too much for Jia Rong to come to greet him in person!"

Xu You seemed very useful for the general's flattery and said with a smile, "After returning to Jizhou, I will say many good words for you in front of the general."

"Thank you, my lord!" The general was overjoyed.

"Those who come stop!" Mi Wei shouted majestically.

The team did not receive the order and continued to move forward.

After Mi Wei was a little stunned, with an order, the cavalry took arches and arrows one after another, aimed at Xu You's motorcade.

The onlookers and people, seeing that the situation was wrong, hurriedly retreated aside.

After listening to the soldier's report, Xu You felt something was wrong and asked, "What's going on?"

"Your Excellency, those cavalry let the carriage stop!" General lead the way.

Xu You's face changed slightly and said without hesitation, "Stop!"
