Yu Fan was confused. Although it had not been verified yet, he believed that Sun Ce. The currency used for bulk transactions would not be low, and the currency used for trashing would not be low. The gold coins in his hand were all gold, at most, only about one or two taels, not to mention that it was not gold. The difference between the face value and price was more than ten thousand times. With huge profits, imitators would definitely flock to them, especially those with ulterior motives. If they were not sure, Sun Ce would not do this.

But why did Sun Ce take it out now? If he had used this currency earlier, he would not have been hoarse with the maritime representatives.

Yu Fan looked at the alloy coins in his hand for a long time, but he couldn't help it. "King, has this alloy coins been completed for a long time?"

"This is actually not a currency, it is an alloy sample, and it was given to me by the Iron Officer." Sun Ce said while looking through the statistics table of the five-year plan. Huang Chengyan worked hard to study alloys for several years and spent countless money. Now there is finally an alloy that can be officially mass-produced. This alloy is hard and wear-resistant. Although it is mainly steel, it is not easy to rust. The biggest feature is that it can cast fine patterns with fine casting technology. The current materials and casting technology cannot be imitated at all.

This material and craft are most suitable for coin minting, so he asked Huang Chengyan to keep it confidential at the beginning. No more than five people, including himself, master the specific formula and craftsmanship. However, it was just a decision to make a decision to use this material to cast high-degree currency. Being cautious is certainly acceptable, but letting others cut their flesh is not enough. You can't tighten your belt, grasp revolution, promote production, set an example, and encourage frugality, but feed your opponents.

Almost without thinking, he was sure that there must be Liu Ba's shadow behind those who cast small money. This person is good at economics, and such financial means are not difficult for him, not to mention that countless people have done similar things before.

"Why didn't the king make a decision early?" Yu Fan couldn't help but go straight in.

Sun Ce put down the plan in his hand, tapped his finger twice, and picked his eyelids slightly. "Zhongxiang, you have researched on Wang Mang's new policy. You should know the Daquan and Jinmaodao in the later period of Wang Mang. What do you think is the essential difference between this alloy and those?"

Yu Fan thought for a moment and shook his head. "The king is far-sighted and prevents problems from happening. It is indeed admirable for me. However, the world's gold and copper are limited, and one day it will not be enough to use it. It is inevitable to use other materials as coins. Now that the coins are in short supply, it has affected the economy and people's livelihood. How can I stop eating because of the choke and dare not step beyond the line?"

Sun Ce smiled, a little helpless. Yu Fan was full of energy and had a sharp vision. He witnessed with his own eyes the huge role of attaching importance to technology and revitalizing industry and commerce in wealth growth. He also realized that currency shortage will be the norm for a period of time. Therefore, he foresees that using materials other than gold and copper as currency is an inevitable trend, but he underestimated the greed of people.

Once you have mastered the right to mint coins, no one can always control their own yù    wàng. Excessive currency is almost an inevitable result, and the over-issuance of currency is a natural result, and no one can stop it. So many people who are proficient in the economy and finance in the 21st century cannot stop it. With the current economy, financial level and political concepts, super-issuance of currency is similar to being dying.

Wang Mang is a typical example, it has not been more than ten years from monetary reform to economic collapse.

"Zhongxiang, too much is too much, rather than being too much. Now that gold is in short supply, it is profitable to go out to find gold, it is a good opportunity to inspire subjects to go out to explore. If you rely on this method too early, it will not only be a way to quench your thirst, but also waste a good opportunity to go out. Think carefully and then make a decision. Even if you want to make this alloy of gold coins, you must control the quantity. You can only seek urgent needs and not lose the foundation and end."

Yu nodded. He could understand Sun Ce's concerns. Issuing a large amount of money is to plunder people's wealth. Sun Ce's ability to control his greed does not mean that others can agree, especially those generals who are eager to achieve success. It is indeed better to be cautious about this matter.

"These expenditures have all arisen because of the war. We must make it clear to the people of the world that we cannot take the blame." Sun Ce took back the topic and pointed to the statistical report on the case. If the actual results are based on the actual results, the five-year plan can be said to have failed. Production has achieved the expected goals, but the consumption has far exceeded the original estimate. This year alone, military expenditures have exceeded 20 billion, which not only consumed the income this year, but also consumed a lot of old capital. If it weren't for the development of quite a good year in recent years, he has been relatively restrained and dared not be too lazy. The palace was as frugal as possible and saved some money. These battles this year could make him bankrupt.

The war was not caused by him, but Cao Cao and Yuan Tan launched an attack. Later, the emperor jumped out to cause trouble, and he had to face the battle. He did this at the beginning to save money. After all, the offense was too expensive and defense could save a lot, but now it has become a reason to put the responsibility for the failure of the five-year plan to the emperor, Cao Cao, Yuan Tan and others, which is reasonable and does not wrong them at all.

If they hadn't caused trouble, the five-year plan could have been over-completed, and the development of agriculture, industry and commerce was very rapid, better than he expected. Of course, this is because the plan was relatively conservative - that was just that he thought that Zhang Hong and others did not think so, and they all felt that it was impossible to complete it - it was also related to the fact that the major war had not been launched in recent years. The solid foundation, the more powerful the development potential, he was very clear about this point. It was precisely because he saw the results of the previous years that he had the confidence to fully blossom this year, but he didn't expect that this wave would be over and overspending.

Compared to him, others may not think so. They think that Wu is rich and powerful, and can completely conquer 200,000 troops and directly crush Jizhou and enter Guanzhong. This is not impossible, but it is not his ideal. It is not life or death, so why do you have to fight with your opponents to lose both sides? I can develop for a few more years and then easily crush them, without even sweating, telling the world what is true civilization and what is knowledge and power.

My goal is the sea of ​​stars. Who would like to fight with these people like street gangsters and lose their identity?

Yu Fan was very clear about Sun Ce's thoughts, and he understood it as soon as he heard it. "The king made sense. I will ask them to list the military expenditures separately and reorganize them."

Sun Ce watched Yu Fan leave, and then asked someone to call Lu Cui. The final result of the five-year plan was released for a few months. Now the public opinion is about to begin to lay the groundwork, let the people know who is the culprit of the war and who doesn't want them to live happily. This kind of life is the most suitable one for Lu Cui. This person is to cast his enemy's qiāng and bǐ    shǒu, ensuring that every word is heartbroken and every stroke is bloody.
