Lu Xuan looked calm and explained: "The economic war I mentioned is a commercial offensive method. I ask Cao Cao not to block the exchanges between merchants from both sides. Cao Cao will definitely be happy and will definitely agree."
Fazheng took the words, nodded and said: "The borders of the two countries are no longer blocked separately, and merchants are allowed to enter and exit freely. This means that the large quantities of grain that Cao Cao needs can be purchased from Wu merchants."
"Except, all the cloth, silk and satin that are lacking in Guanzhong can be purchased from the wealthy state of Wu. Cao Cao will definitely be happy."
"That's right, I don't understand."
"All the supplies of our Kingdom of Wu have been bought by Cao Cao. Cao Cao is not short of food and other supplies, which means that we have supported Cao Cao. To put it more seriously, it is a means of harming ourselves and benefiting others. I don't understand."
Fazheng rolled his eyes and asked, "What exactly is Your Majesty's economic war?"
Lu Xuan said unhurriedly: "The core of economic warfare is hidden in transactions. Businessmen who enter Wu from Qin, whether they are buying supplies or doing other things, as long as it is a large transaction, they must have a ticket." Numbers are exchanged for bills, and bills are used for transactions. Coins are not allowed to be used for direct buying and selling."
Fa Zheng is still a little confused.
He seemed to understand.
It seems that I understand, but it seems that I don't really understand.
Jia Xu said: "I have heard about the ticket number, and I also know how to redeem the ticket. For example, if you deposit money at the ticket number in Wu County, Yangzhou, you can withdraw money in Shu County by redeeming the ticket. But I don't understand, how can the king make a profit? "
Lu Xuan continued: "I have just said that there is no need to use money for direct transactions. This clause is only for merchants under Cao Cao's rule. Therefore, when merchants under Cao Cao's rule enter the Kingdom of Wu, they need to go to the ticket office to exchange the tickets."
"To facilitate large-scale buying and selling transactions."
"In these years, Wu State has been promoting ticket redemption. It has even been implemented in Yangzhou and Jingzhou areas. You only need one redemption ticket to travel between Jingzhou and Yangzhou. It is very convenient to do business and no coins are needed."
"There is a problem here. The currency can only be exchanged in but not out, and will not be returned to Qin merchants."
"They can exchange grain from the State of Wu, but they cannot take away the coins, they can only take away the exchange notes. The exchange notes they exchange can be used to do business in the State of Wu, and they can do business in the State of Wu."
"In addition, because the merchants of Wu State use it, they will not suspect that the king will confiscate their money, ensuring that the merchants of Qin State will use it."
Lu Xuan talked eloquently and seemed calm.
This method is very common. Although it is mandatory to a certain extent, it is easy to have some loopholes because Lu Xuan arranged it for the first time.
However, Lu Xuan still wanted to give it a try.
Merchants pursue profits. Businessmen or big families in Qin will pursue Wu when they see the huge market. The State of Wu is a dominant family and has the potential to dominate the world. There must be many businessmen willing to come to the State of Wu.
When these businessmen arrived in Wu State, they were the targets of the united war, so they could win over these people in advance.
These are added values.
Lu Xuan's eyes were bright, and he continued: "A large amount of coins flowed into the Wu State and settled in the Wu State, which is the Wu State's money. The area under Cao Cao's rule temporarily received supplies, but soon after, they would find a large number of five coins. There are a large number of vacancies for baht coins, gold cakes and other currencies."
"After continuous advancement, Qin State is no longer able to operate normally."
"Even when there is a large shortage of coins, it will cause Qin's economic system to collapse. By then, Cao Cao will not even be able to pay officials' salaries because there will be no copper coins unless they re-cast five baht coins."
Lu Xuan said: "It is not a simple matter to re-coin coins. On the one hand, there needs to be sufficient copper mines, which cannot be found in a short time. On the other hand, the minted five-baht coins may not be qualified. Therefore, this is from Essentially destroying Qin’s monetary system.”
After Jia Xu heard this, his old face showed a look of shock, and he praised: "Your Majesty, Sheng Ming."
Fazheng said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty's idea is wonderful. This method is no less than Guan Zhong's technique."
Lu Xuan said: "Guan Zhong has outstanding talents, especially in terms of financial means. He is very sophisticated. If Xiaozhi wants to develop further, he can move closer to this aspect. This is the key to standing out."
Fazheng said quickly: "I will remember your Majesty's teachings."
Lu Xuan nodded, his eyes hopeful.
His talents are constantly being enriched and there are already many. As the official minister of Wu State, Zhang Zhao was the head of the hundred officials. Although there were minor problems and flaws, Zhang Zhao had no problems in governing Wu State.
Kuai Liang has been governing Xuzhou, and he can be transferred back to the center.
There will be people like Zhuge Liang in the future.
If Fa Zheng wants to develop and stand out in the future, it is best to have higher attainments in the economy.
After Lu Xuan discussed with Jia Xu and Fazheng, Lu Xuan wrote a letter to Zhang Zhao, asking Zhang Zhao to mobilize and prepare for the unification of the world that will start next year.
On the other side, Yang Biao was riding a horse in a hurry.
He also wanted to ride in a carriage because it would provide shelter from the wind and rain. However, the narrowest area of Meridian Road cannot accommodate carriages.
After Yang Biao left Ziwu Road, he went straight to Cao Cao's garrison camp. When Yang Biao went south, Cao Cao also left Luoyang and returned to the military camp. Yang Biao entered the Chinese army's tent, and after seeing Cao Cao, he saluted and said, "Old Yang Biao, I pay my respects to the King of Qin."
Cao Cao looked anxious and said: "Mr. Yang, there is no need to be polite. Tell me quickly, what does Lu Xuan mean? Do you agree with my request for peace and a truce?"
Guo Jia, Xun You and Cheng Yu also looked over.
The three of them were all in Cao Cao's camp, discussing many things with Cao Cao about this winter.
Just as it happened, Yang Biao came back.
Finally came the news.
Yang Biao looked calm and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Lu Xuan agreed to King Qin's request for peace, but Lu Xuan changed the conditions. He was like a lion, suppressing and blackmailing King Qin in every way. The old man couldn't make the decision, so he said he needed to meet Queen Qin. , then give him an answer."
Cao Cao looked relaxed and confident, and said: "Lu Xuan's conditions are nothing more than humiliating me. Mr. Yang, you should agree directly. As long as Lu Xuan has a truce and our Qin country can relax, I am willing to do anything." I can carry it all.”
Guo Jia urged eagerly: "Mr. Yang, what are the conditions?"
Yang Biao replied: "Lu Xuan has four conditions. First, it is King Qin's mistake in announcing the attack on Wu, and he must apologize publicly. Second, Lu Xuan not only wants Cai Yan, but also asks King Qin to send another daughter."
"Third, Lu Xuan asked the King of Qin to open the border gates between Wu and Qin, allowing merchants from the two countries to travel. Fourth, Lu Xuan asked the King of Qin to issue an order to make Han Sui the King of Xiliang County."
"Asshole!"
Cao Cao suddenly became angry.
He was not relaxed at all, his face was full of anger, he slapped the table in front of him, stood up, gritted his teeth and said: "Lu Xuan, a pervert, bullies people too much. He really thinks that my sword is no longer sharp. ?"
