Chapter 72 Countermeasures

One country after another is destroyed, and one battle after another is launched. In such an era, a capital less than fifty miles away from the border is becoming more and more prosperous, which is a miracle.

The king of Xiong Jing was a hundred miles away from Daliang and saw the denser boats on the gulf. Some of these boats transported grain, some of them transported cloth, and some of them transported large seals, and were coming from Daliang in a steady stream. The boats traveled fifty miles away, and the boats on the opposite side were already dense, just like trains on the water, one carriage connected to another.

The boat left empty and returned with a full load. Xiong Jing looked a little puzzled, and asked Wei Jianyou beside him: "Why is this?"

Xiong Jing arrived at Daliang, and Qi King Tian Jian also arrived at Daliang, in order to formally make an oath with the Qian family of various countries. As soon as Xiong Jing entered the Wei territory, Wei Jiao, the crown prince, came over, and Xinling Jun Wei Jianyou followed Ji Ying into Wei.

The King of Chu felt strange when he saw the boats in the empty boats and the loads came out. Wei Jianyou didn't know what was going on for a moment. However, Wei Jiao replied: "Reported to the King, the Qin people suddenly sold corn, cloth, jerky, fur, silk, jewelry and other items a few days ago. The price was cheap, and the millet was only 30 coins per stone. The merchants were very happy when they heard this and bought them all. When Guiyi County and county officials learned about this, they quickly sent the boats to Daliang to buy them."

"Selling corn, cloth, jerky, fur, silk, jewelry..." Xiong Jing was suspicious. It would be fine if silk jewelry was not enough. This world is a luxury, corn, cloth, jerky, and fur are strategic materials, and they are generally not available except for smuggling.

"Yes." Crown Prince Wei Jiao was about the same age as Zhao Zheng, but his fate was not as good as Zhao Zheng. Zhao Zheng ascended the throne at a young age, and Xiong Jing ascended the throne at a young age. His grandfather, Wei Anli, reigned for more than 30 years, which made his father, Wei Zeng, king of Wei, ascend the throne in his fifties. If Wei Zeng was also in his twenty-year reign, he would have to be in his fifties before he could ascend the throne.

He was in his thirties and was in his prime, and Wei Jiao had no time to be angry. His careful beard and his right speech showed Wang Ting's success in him. He smiled and said, "The Qin people were very afraid of the king. They knew that the king went to Daliang and sold it, and they were the king."

In addition to the King of Xinling, Wei Jianyou, the Prince of Wei Wei, and Zhao Ying, who came to welcome the King of Zhao State, who was also accompanied by the Prince of Qi, Tian Sheng, who also joined Wei, and the private minister of the Prince of Xiong Jing. Wei Jiao's words made everyone laugh. The historians did not miss the opportunity to show off their national prestige and quickly wrote this matter in the history books.

"No, the Qin people cannot get up early without profit. There must be something strange about this." Among the people, only Si Huishi Shi was not laughing, and Xiong Jing didn't smile much. With the Qin people's temperament, he instinctively felt that this was not a good thing.

"Tell the King, Wei Shang Bai Yi asks for a visit." A bow came from outside Jue's room, and it was more than fifty miles before he arrived at Daliang. Unexpectedly, Bai Yi came.

"Summon Bai Yi." Xiong Jing said immediately. He wanted to see what tricks the Qin people were playing.

The relationship between the great merchants of various countries and the Chu king court was full of twists and turns. Since the hiring of soldiers last year, the two sides gradually stabilized their cooperative relationship. Of course, this was also due to Seleucid. The sudden detention of sea boats caused the shrinking of overseas trade. The Chu State could only rely on the support of big merchants and tycoons to survive the period of lack of gold and silver, so as to fully control the spice trade in the future and make huge profits.

During the great Shang Dynasty of the Bai clan, the ancestors of the Bai clan were doctors of the State of Wei, and he was born in Luoyang. It was different from Zheng Shang, Qi Shang, Wei Shang, Zhao Shang, and Chu Shang. In addition, he became the leader of the Da Shang Dynasty. His hurry to visit was naturally related to the abnormal movements of the Qin State.

"This is the act of a Qin man who has little gold." After bowing to him, Bai Yi said anxiously. "I bought the Qin man's goods as a poison to quench thirst. This should be prohibited. Otherwise, the Qin man who has gained gold will be detrimental to me."

"I don't think so." said Zhao Ying, the king of Pingyuan. "The Qin people sold the military and national resources. The grain was only thirty coins per stone, which was to attract poison to quench thirst. I should drink it. The Qin people got gold and I got millet. What harm did it do?"

"Your Majesty is a bad word." Nao Xin said: "Selling silk outside the sea boat is low. What he did was to make the King of Rong and Hu people not accept the silk silk of Qin people. The King of Rong and Hu people did not accept the silk silk of Qin people, so the Qin people would not have cattle and horses. The previous month, the army drove Wang Jian's army, and the cattle and horses were all there were cattle and horses that died in Yu. If the Qin people got gold and then got cattle and horses, it would be a big harm."

"That's true." Bai Yi hurriedly said. "The Qin people sold corn, cloth, fur and other things at a low price to get my gold and silver minted coins. The Hu people also received it. Former merchants and Qin people bought and sold goods with goods. I gave them salt and iron, and they gave me corn, cloth, silk silk."

Bai Yi broke the trading rules of smuggling along the Yellow River in one sentence. The four countries' coins in Daliang, Linzi, Yingdu, and other cities can be exchanged for gold and silver at will. Of course, the four countries' coins have price comparisons every day, Chu coins are the most stable, Qi coins are second, Wei coins are second, and finally Zhao coins. Zhao coins are dead, and Zhao coins are compared to the price.

"The Qin people sold department stores at a low price, and the price of gold increased sharply. Previously, one gold in Qin land was exchanged for more than 9,200 yuan, but now it has exceeded 10,000 yuan, and one gold can be exchanged for half a liang of 18,000 yuan. It is also said that those who exchanged for a hundred gold can be promoted to a higher rank." Bai Yi said. "The Qin people had little gold, so they did not want gold to flow into Guandong."

Bai Yi said this, Xiong Jing had already understood what the Qin people did. Gold is foreign exchange, selling department stores at a low price is exporting foreign exchange, and the sharp rise in gold prices is a currency depreciation, and the purpose is to attract and retain foreign exchange. In addition, it should also be prohibited from carrying gold from leaving Qin and destroying privately for US dollars..., no, it is privately for gold,... destroying underground money houses that privately for gold.

Capital was born without a motherland, and shedding wherever she was safe and benefiting. The Four Kingdoms Gold Bank had established its credibility, and the Chu army is now on an offensive, and of course the Qin gold was flowing to Guandong. A statement from Xiong Jing handed over the Four Kingdoms Gold Bank to the Ziqian family that the Four Kingdoms Gold Bank could dilute the national color in the hands of the Ziqian family. The result of diluting the national color is the outflow of gold and silver in Qin.

This sounds like a fantasy, but reality proves that it is true. Sending your wife and children to the enemy country, sending the money you get from corruption to the enemy country, and even investing domestic assets into the enemy country through bank mortgage through so-called industrial internationalization, successfully completing the capital transfer - Xiong Jing remembered the Soviet Union, and this was how those corrupt officials in the Soviet Union did it during the Gorbachev period.

In the Soviet Union, money could only be piled in firewood, and there was no need for the KGB. When Yeltsin was fighting corruption, several people's committee members could find tons of rubles at home. Sending it to the West can get security guarantees. If children can get Western passports and American green cards, it would be safer.

"What can Ruozhi do?" Knowing what the Qin people were doing, the next step is to study countermeasures.

"It is necessary to prohibit the Qin people from getting gold and silver to mint coins. They can sell department stores, but they can only barter, not change coins. Gold and silver should not enter Qin. If there is one, they should be considered as a spy." Bai Yi said.

The Qin people would definitely not do it. Pingyuan Jun Zhao Ying wanted to speak but Xiong Jing stopped him. "That's right?"

"Then you should add boats to the big river to facilitate trading. If there are officials who rebel against Qin, you should accept them all." Bai Yi talked about the second article. The Chu State hated officials, and most of the warships were owned by the Chu State. Therefore, Bai Yi looked at Xiong Jing and laughed at him when he spoke, and he was worried that Xiong Jing would not agree.

"And?" Xiong Jing did not agree or refused.

"You may ask us to know that the government will sell government bonds and deposit gold and silver on behalf of others. The four countries' gold transactions are willing to give us a hundred and three benefits." Bai Yi's third article made people faint. Nao Xin laughed and seemed to be speechless but couldn't speak. Know that the government has integrated the four countries of Kanto and South Korea's marquis spies (South Korea deployed marquis spies in Qin and the widest range. South Korea can allow the four countries to support their restoration. The most important card is the marquis spies in his hand). If we know that the government can really sell and deposit on behalf of others, it is indeed a way.

"No." Xiong Jing vetoed it without thinking. Knowing that the opponent's office is related to national strategy, the flow of gold and silver is just a part of the economic war, how can he take the lead and put the cart before the horse?

Xiong Jing's straightforward opposition made Bai Yi feel distressed. The four countries' marquis spies are now controlled by the commander of the Master Zhige. Bai Yi wanted to ask the Marquis spies of the Wei Kingdom to help but could not order them. He was blinded by the situation in Qin. Fortunately, Xiong Jing then said: "Selling and saving on behalf of others and transporting gold and silver. Knowing that the Master Zhige can give information. However, the Marquis spies are not merchants, how can they do business? If the Qin people set up bait to hunt and kill, what if?"

"Weiwei." Bai Yi replied continuously.

"The Qin people are like this, and Zhao is worried." Xiong Jing thought of Zhao when he spoke. Qin State must have a combination of punches to capture gold. The coins of Zhao were confiscated in the Wei land that had been occupied before. They were just occupied east of Taihang last year. The Zhao money in the hands of common people could be obtained in Linzi and Daliang for gold.

"Can you know who made this plan?" Xiong Jing couldn't help asking.

"Report to the King..." Bai Yi and Nao Xin spoke in unison, and finally Bai Yi spoke: "It is reported that Xunqing's disciple Zhang Cang is the order of Taicang."

"Taicang Order?" The official position of Qin State is similar to that of the Three Jins and is very different from that of Chu State.

"Report to the King, this is the official of the Great Insider." Bai Yi explained. "There are two ministers under the jurisdiction of the grain and the officials of the capital, one is the chief of the Taicang, who is in charge of the country's money, grain, and grain department stores, which is the chief of the Zhou people. The other is the chief of the Datian, who is in charge of the land rent of the country, which is the official of the Zhou people. More than ten days ago, the King of Qin ordered Zhang Cang to be the chief of the Taicang."

Taicang Xiong Jing had heard of it, but he always thought that this was about the granaries outside Xianyang City, but he didn't expect it to be an official position. Bai Yi said this, and Naoxin nodded, adding: "The Qin court discussed the acceptance and underwriting of the treasury bonds by the Great Chu News more than ten days ago. Zhang Cang had a lot of knowledge about arithmetics and read a lot of books in Lantai Palace. He should have offered advice to the King of Qin, and was appointed by the King of Qin."

After Xunqiu left Chu, Zhang Cang stayed in Chu for a while before leaving Chu. He went to Qi, saying that it was Dr. Qi invited him, and then he transferred to Qin. In fact, Xiong Jing was not able to stop him from going directly to Qin, so Zhang Cang was his senior brother.

Xiong Jing was not interested in Zhang Cang, but was a little interested in the official position of Qin State. He asked again: "What is the official position of governing the Mizu Inner Office?"
