Chapter 650 Development

Even Cao Cao and Liu Bei know the role of the craftsman and will not reuse it. This also gives Jia Rong a chance to leave the princes far behind. Now the weapons of the Xiliang Army have far exceeded those of the princes. Not to mention how sharp the weapons are, explosives alone can help Jia Rong seize countless In a strong city, not every city will seal the gates and fight against it completely.

With explosives, the gates that are difficult to conquer in this era will definitely tremble under the iron horse of the Xiliang Army, and the cavalry will dominate the battlefield to a greater extent.

"How is the result of the secret development?" Jia Rong turned his eyes to Pu Yuan, looking at the scald marks on his face and the holes in his clothes. It was difficult for Jia Rong to imagine that the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the court would look like this.

"The Holy One Hundred People, only more than ten of the 100 craftsmen responsible for the development were left, and all the rest were blown up." Pu Yuan looked a little unnatural. The Xiliang Army developed rapidly, and his craftsmen also flocked, but there were still not many real talents. No one would think that there were too many talents under him. He invested 100 people at one time and survived more than ten people. This result was difficult for Puyuan to accept.

"You are also the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the court. You don't pay attention to your own image. Look at this dress. How long has it been since you changed? Be careful of the minister in the court impeaching you." Jia Rong said with a smile.

Guo Wei, who was beside him, also cooperated and laughed. Jia Rong became the emperor. Guo Wei was the general of the Hu Ben Army, guarding Jia Rong's safety. Hu Ben was an important force to defend the palace, commanding three thousand cavalry, and being the most elite cavalry in the army. In the Liang Kingdom, no one dared to ignore this holy sworn brother.

"Your Honor, you also know that Weichen is a man of iron. How can he have time to do this? As soon as the army fights, the generals will come to Weichen to ask for weapons. If Weichen says no, I'm afraid..." Pu Yuan said hesitantly.

"Well, not to mention those useless things that have been developed must be kept absolutely confidential. This is an important weapon to change the pattern of the world, and we should also pay attention to etiquette."

"Weichen obeys the order."

The craftsman's workshop developed gunpowder and lost nearly 90 exquisite craftsmen. Such losses were exchanged for the success of gunpowder development. Their death was worthwhile in Jia Rong's eyes. To a certain extent, their sacrifices were exchanged for the chance of soldiers surviving on the battlefield. The Xiliang army was brave and good at fighting, facing Jiancheng is still a little helpless. After destroying the other party's gate, it is not allowed for him to go out of the city to fight. At that time, the Xiliang army can fully exert its own strength and destroy the enemy in one fell swoop in the field. The sacrifice of these craftsmen is to provide greater advantage on the battlefield, die in the right place, and die. For the craftsman who went there, the pension is very generous.

Sure enough, under the control of the Xiliang Army, in just a month, the price of goods under Cao Jun's rule rose crazily, and there was a lack of supply of raw materials. Even if some merchants worked hard, they would not make money and sell them cheaply, and the disappearance of some merchants made the goods in the city tight.

Yesterday, it was two yuan. Today, at a glance, it became moneyless. At the beginning, it was only one money to buy, and it rose so much at once. How can the people afford it?

And a few days later, the merchant didn't even accept banknotes. As long as it was real gold and silver, it was not five baht. Of course, these were just secretly said.

This current situation has led the people to take the money in their hands to the bank to exchange. No matter how good the bank staff says, the people are willing to exchange the paper money in their hands for five baht, instead of such a thing that may depreciate at any time.

It's okay for the Yanzhou Bank to scare the people. For the family to exchange money, it's time to think about it. Now under Cao Jun's rule, not only the merchants are panicked, but also the family is shocked. No one wants the huge amount in their hands to turn into a pile of waste paper, even if Cao Cao's orders are strict.

Merchants had already exchanged banknotes for real money before, but they did not panic. Few people under Cao Jun bought banknotes from Xiliang Bank, which was also a means of suppressing Cao Cao to promote his own development and suppress other princes.

At this time, this kind of suppression has become a burden, and Xiliang Bank will naturally not recognize the Yanzhou Bank banknotes in the hands of the people.

"What should we do now?" Cao Cao had a feeling of anxiety. If it was to kill the battlefield, there would be nothing to send soldiers up, but now such a thing happened in the bank. People and merchants exchanged the paper money in their hands for money. Yanzhou's warehouse was not rich. When fighting against Jingzhou before, a lot of money was even temporarily collected from the treasury. That is to say, many coins have become a deficit, and there is no actual money to exchange. Once this situation continues, it will be a huge blow to Cao Jun's finances. Now Cao Cao does not have the joy of just establishing a bank and money entering.

But at this time, there was already a stir in the city. Although the people would not say anything on the surface, they were extremely disappointed with the Yanzhou Bank.

"Master, from the perspective of humble position, there must be Xiliang Army making trouble in it at this time. In Yanzhou Bank, there are exchange coins everywhere. Why does Xiliang Bank not have such a situation, and the merchants in the city have plummeted, so that the price rises, I'm afraid it is also the handwriting of the Xiliang Army. Jia Rong attaches importance to merchants, and even pays Wei Guan and Mi Zhu. As the servant of the household, the Zhen family in Jizhou also transferred the industry to Luyang. These three families are not small to unite. Xi Zhicai analyzed it.

"Yes, Xiliangjun is ready to move. I'm afraid he wants to plot the land of Yanzhou, and controlling merchants can only have an effect in a short period of time. After a long time, the goods in the hands of the merchants are difficult to sell. If there is no profit, how can they obey Jia Rong's orders?" Cao Cao said coldly that he was not ashamed of some means for businessmen to make profits, but at this time he had to admit the influence of businessmen.

In his opinion, as long as there are some benefits, there is no need to worry about businessmen coming, and Jia Rong's actions will only make businessmen disgusted.

The Mijiawei family is one of the two major merchants under the rule of the Xiliang Army. Of course, the Zhen family has just defected to the Xiliang Army, and the industry in the family has not yet developed. The influence of these three merchants can be imagined. Even if they lose money, Jia Rong's will must be implemented.

After half a month, the coins in Cao Jun's treasury were empty, and all the money collected through the bank before was gone. If there was a war, I'm afraid that Cao Jun's movement would be a big problem.

At this time, merchants came with their goods. In the past, it was only a few tens of percent of the profit, and when the goods were transported to Cao Jun's rule, the profit could easily reach 300 percent or 400 percent. Under this profit, some merchants' complaints about Jia Rong were also turned into It's nothing.

Let your goods be in short supply first, and then sell them. Almost half of the money accumulated by Cao Jun flows into the hands of the merchants, among which the Wei family and the Zhen family occupy the majority.

Cao Cao can only watch this kind of thing happen and have no choice. Even if there is no bank, Xi Liangjun can also obtain huge profits through such means. This is the effect when the influence reaches a certain extent. Even lowly businessmen, when they unite, they play The influence is so great that it is scary.

Taking this opportunity, Wei Jia Mi's family and Zhen's family, together with all the businessmen, have rectified the Liangguo Chamber of Commerce and combined the businessmen. In that case, such actions will become faster in the future.

With this profit as a premise, many businessmen are willing to join.

Jia Rong looked at a piece of information from Cao's army with a satisfied smile on his face. He really wanted to see Cao Cao's expression at this time. If the Xiliang soldiers were under the city, what would they do to resist? After the army ran out of food and fodder, where would they make up for this huge loophole?

If the Xiliang army does not launch an attack, it will cooperate with the merchants two or three times, which will be enough to make Cao Jun's economy collapse. The soldiers have no salary, the people have no food left in their homes, and the people can's lives.

Of course, Jia Rong's current purpose is only to make it difficult for Cao soldiers to support the big war.

How's it going? Don't underestimate the role of businessmen. Once they unite, it is enough to change the situation. Jia Rong said with a smile.

"The Holy is wise." Jia Xu also had a position of officials bowing.

They couldn't think of such a plan even if they broke their heads, and Jia Rong seemed to be able to do it. Some officials even vaguely doubted whether it was really the same as what came out of Bingzhou in those years. The lord came from the future and was familiar with the development of history. However, after these rumors came to the people, Jia Rong was the son of heaven. To save the people from the bitter sea of war.

However, such words can only be hidden in the heart, and now Jia Rong is a high-ranking emperor, with the power to live and kill, and bloodshed thousands of miles in anger.

At this moment, Cao Cao is very busy. If there is no grain in the treasury, he will definitely panic. Once the Xiliang army takes this opportunity to launch a war, it will be fatal to the Cao army. For the first time, Cao Cao felt that money was so important. Looking at the names of the merchants on the roster in his hand, there was boundless anger in his heart. It was they who suddenly plunged Cao Jun's finance into a crisis. Cao Cao's territory is vast and there are many talents in his hands. In the face of such problems, it is still a little difficult to deal with. Even his talents can't give any good opinions.

Fortunately, Cao Jun does not lack resources and occupies a vast land. He can get benefits just by mining and selling coal. However, these are definitely a drop in the bucket for the huge. Cao Cao has not been confused enough to give the paper money in his hand to the soldiers in the army as military salary. In that case, even if it is a soldier, he will not make a fuss. Change, the trust in Cao Cao will also be minimized. Now under the rule of Cao Jun, who doesn't know that the money in Cao Jun's Bank is worthless.
